Wires are those conductors 3.26mm or No.8AWG and smaller in sizes. Cables on the other hand,
are those which are larger than the wires. So, wires are small cable while cables are big wires.
Wires and cables are either:

Concept Notes
Some factors that will affect your choice of electrical wiring include color, label information and applications.
The information printed on the wire covering is all that you need to choose the correct wire for your home. Here’s
one of detailed information on the various features of electrical wire, which will help you choose the correct
composition.
1. Size of Wires- Each application requires a certain wire size for installation, and the right size for a specific
application is determined by the wire gauge. Sizing of wire is done by the American Wire Gauge System.
Common wire sizes are 10, 12, 14- a higher number means a smaller wire size, and affects the amount of
power it can carry. For example, a low- voltage lamp cord with 10 amps will require 18- gauge wire, while
service panels or subpanels with 100 Amps will require 2- gauge wire.
Questions:
1. What are the factors that affect the choice of electrical wiring?
2. Explain why 8 AWG can carry a higher amount of power than 14 AWG.
