a 37 - strand conductor, in which each strand has a diameter of 83 mil, would have a cross sectional area of ____________ cmils???
he circular mil area of a wire or cable is equal to its diameter - expressed in mils squared:
CM = mil 2 (2) where CM = circular mil area (CM)
CM = mil 2 (2)
where
CM = circular mil area (CM)
The diameter in mil of a circular wire can be expressed as:
mil = CM1/2 (2b)
So: .83 x .83 = .688 OR 688 CM
688 circular mils for the answer
Excuse me, there is a decimal in here, it's 6.88 CM
Answer is 6.88 CM
