1-0 or 1/0 actually means one zero and is thus pronounced "won aught". In the US, wire is sized per American Wire Gauge or AWG which gets larger as the gauge size gets smaller. 1 AWG wire is pretty big wire (about 1/4" in diameter). 1/0 or "0" AWG wire is a bit larger. By contrast, 4/0 (0000) AWG wire is about 1/2" in diameter). The larger the wire, the higher the current carrying capacity.

What is difference between 10-2 and 10-3 wire?
10 is the gauge of the wire, 2 and 3 are how many leads are in the wire. For instance 10-2 wire is 10 gauge with two leads, 10-3 is 10 gauge with three leads.
What is the difference between 10 times 85 and 10 times 100?
150
What are the differences between California and Egypt?
There is a 10 hour difference between California and Egypt.
Does a 20 amp circuit require a number 12 gauge wire?
12 guage wire israted for 20 amps and 10 guage is rated for thirty amps! 12 gauge is what is required, as it is rated for 20 amps. 10 gauge is rated for 30 and will be more then enough. Oversizing wire in your case isn't necessary. The thicker 10 gauge wire is harder to work with and will more then likely cost more.
Which wire is smallest in AWG?
The larger the AWG number the smaller the wire. 10 AWG wire can carry more current than 12 AWG wire.The wire sizes of 24 and 26 are the smallest that are used in the electrical.See related links below
What is the difference between the number 10 and the number 5?
5
Is the difference between the greatest number and the least number?
The difference between the greatest and least number is the range. For example, if the greatest # in a set of data is 20, and the least # is 10, 20-10=10. 10 is the range.
What is the difference between the greatest and least number?
The difference between the greatest and least number is the range. For example, if the greatest # in a set of data is 20, and the least # is 10, 20-10=10. 10 is the range.
What is the difference between 1 and 10?
The difference between 1 and 10 is 9. or When you add a zero to the right side of the number 1 it becomes 10.
What is the difference between 10 and -15?
10 is a positive number, -15 is a negative number. Also... The difference is 25, -15 is 25 less than 10.
What is difference between 10-2 and 10-3 wire?
10 is the gauge of the wire, 2 and 3 are how many leads are in the wire. For instance 10-2 wire is 10 gauge with two leads, 10-3 is 10 gauge with three leads.
What the difference between 10-2 wire and 10-3?
The first number indicates the size of the wires, in this case #10 AWG (American Wire Gauge). The last number refers to the quantity of conductors, excluding the ground wire, if any. 10-2 wire would have two conductors, typically a black used for the hot, and a white used for the neutral. If the label says "10-2 with ground" then the cable would also contain a bare or green insulated ground wire. 10-3 wire contains all the above plus one more wire, typically red, used for an additional hot.
Is the difference the greatest number and least number is?
The difference between the greatest and least number is the range. For example, if the greatest # in a set of data is 20, and the least # is 10, 20-10=10. 10 is the range.
What is the difference of math?
The Difference of math is when you subtract 2 numbers and get the number between it. Example: 30 -20 _____ 10 The difference there would be 10.
What does one third of the difference between 10 and a number equal?
If N is the number, it is [abs(10 - N)]/3
What is the next number sequence 7101628?
Your answer is 52. The reason for this is because the difference between 7 and 10 is 3. The difference between 10 and 16 is 6. The difference between 16 and 28 is 12. So the last one must be 28 +24 = 52
Is the difference between -20 and -10 equal to 10 or to -10 and why?
You can get the difference on your calculator, or in Excel. In Excel, the expression would be: = -10 - (-20) As to the "why", look at the numbers on a number line. That should help you visualize the situation.
