Translations:Conductor size/2/en

Conductors come in standard sizes depending upon the location. The proper conductor size for a particular circuit depends on two important considerations:

1. The amount of current that they can safely carry given the conditions in which they will be used. The conditions of use that must be considered include: the number of wires in the conduit, the maximum ambient temperature, and the appropriate overcurrent protectiond device size.
2. The amount of voltage that will be lost under operation, which is called voltage drop
