AWG Notes: American Wire Gauge (AWG) is a standardized wire gauge system used predominantly in the United State
The coloring on individual conducting wires usually does not indicate a size or rating but rather the standard or
preferred use of the wire. For example, black and red wires typically are used for current-carrying or "hot"
connections, and white wires usually are grounded "neutral" conductors. Green-insulated wires and bare copper
wires are used for grounding wires.
