remember your triganometry, area of a circle is pi * radius squared (you have measured diameter)What you measure the size of a strand and then times it by how many?
it would vary by manufacturer surly?Does anyone know if there is a chart where you can measure the diameter of an insulated cable and it gives you the csa of a cable.If anybody had that would be the biz.
not quite patch - there is usually air in the spaces, so you would need to measure an individual strand and times that by number of strands for total CSAor to work backwardsradius = sqrt(area / PI)
so 25mm2 cable would = sqrt(25/3.14)
so 25mm2 cable has a radius of 2.82 or a diameter of 5.64mm
see?
there are some rough measurements out there, but each manufacturer may use a different insulation/ other variables so it wouldnt really be reliableDoes anyone know if there is a chart where you can measure the diameter of an insulated cable and it gives you the csa of a cable.If anybody had that would be the biz.
pah - would give you a fair ideanot quite patch - there is usually air in the spaces, so you would need to measure an individual strand and times that by number of strands for total CSA
probably a few mm
only if SOLID core!or to work backwardsradius = sqrt(area / PI)
