AWG: In the American Wire Gauge (AWG) system, wire size diameters can be calculated by applying the formula D (AWG)=.005·92 ((36-AWG)/39) inch. For the 00, 000, 0000 etc. gauges you use -1, -2, -3, which makes more sense mathematically than "double nought."

AWG Wire Gauges Current Ratings - Engineering ToolBox
Common US AWG wire gauges and amps ratings. 1) Current ratings for up to 1000 V, PVC-insulated single and multicore wiring cables, ambient temperature up to 30 o C Download and print AWG chart. Values for resistance are based on electrical resistivity for copper 1.724 x 10-8 Ω m (0.0174 μΩ m) and electrical resistivity for aluminum 2.65 x 10-8 Ω m (0.0265 μΩ m).

Usually, a general purpose house circuit is designed for 20 amps. Lighting circuits may be designed for only 15 amps To calculate the load requirement for a circuit, first add up the wattage of all the electrical devices that will be on the circuit.
Use the StayOnline wire ampacity chart to look up the rated amperage of different sizes and types of cords. This amp chart highlights the types of cords, gauge size range, number of cord coductors, ampacity of current-carrying conductors and much more.
Single-phase voltages are usually 115V or 120V, while three-phase voltages are typically 208V, 230V or 480V. Amperes - Enter the maximum current in amps that will flow through the circuit. For motors, it is recommended to multiply the nameplate FLA by 1.25 for wire sizing. Phases - Select the number of phases in the circuit.
