@cayleependerass: I’m sure there’s a formula for calculating AWG stuff but I just use the mm^2 numbers and an amperage chart for the voltage I’m using. I’ll never claim to be an electrician. #DIY #electircal #boat #restoration #trans
No offense, but all of your measurements in the US are absurd. Metric is logical

What’s the alternative? I’ve not heard of anything aside from AWG for wiring.

To make it more complex, consider “skin depth” of the wire.

Generally speaking you shouldn’t use a bunch of smaller insulated wires since you can’t guarantee the path the electricity will take.

Imperial measures make no sense IF you try to understand them. Metric is based on simple logic.

2 conductors together equals 3 gauges down exactly so 2 14 gauge = 11 gauge. No you can’t run 900amps thru that cable regardless of the length.

I work in a battery test lab, all our high voltage cable is 3/0 minimum, its 85mm2, and we still pump enough current to get it to jump sometimes

Boat wiring is usually tinned copper to help against corrosion, makes a huge difference in the long run. Ancor is the go to brand.

you can't parallel anything under 1/0 . That's a violation

Oversizing The Wire is okay.Just try not to undersize the cable.

Friendly boat tip (unless you plan on selling the boat lol). Tinned copper should be used for boat wiring. The standard copper will corrode and in a couple years you’ll be chasing electrical issues.
