Cross section is the surfave area of the cable if you imagine it cut into ... gauge and diameter are basically the same thing, although the unit of measurement are different.

WHAT IS DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ONE PAIR CABLE and TWO CORE?
No difference in terms of number of wires used.
WHAT IS DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ONE PAIR CABLE and amp TWO CORE?
No difference in terms of number of wires used
How much current can 5kv cable carry?
It depends on its cross-sectional area, its construction, and how it is laid.
Will 16mm twin dc cable fit into 25mm conduit?
If 16mm is the overall diameter of the cable, yes - If that's the diameter of one core, then no.
What ia Standard of dc loop resistance of copper cable?
It depends on the length of th cable and the diameter of the copper cable used.
How to Convert electrical cable size to cable diameter?
Conversion of cable diameter to circle cross-sectional area and vice versa. Scroll down to related links and look at "Conversion of cable diameter to circle cross-sectional area".
How do you get cross sectional area of a vertical cable?
You can measure its diameter with a micrometer. For this the cable does not have to be vertical.
How do you calculate the length of a cable if its diameter is 14 mm?
You don't. You can calculate iits radius and cross-sectional area but its diameter has insufficient information to calculate its length
Difference between coaxial cable and STP cable used for computer networking?
Difference between coaxial cable and STP cable used for computer networking?
How do you find cross sectional area of cable when you have the lent current and the voltage drop?
cross sectional area of cable * voltage drop
What is the difference between cord and wire?
Not sure if it's 100% true, but when I was PAT testing at work it said that a cord had a diameter of >4mm and a cable had a diameter of <4.mm
How do you calculate the cross sectional area of cable?
Simply work out the area of a section of cable.........
How do you calculate the cross section area of electrical cable?
To calculate the cross sectional area (CSA) of a cable, you have to use a micrometer to verify its diameter, then divide the diameter by two to get the radius (r). With the radius we can calculate the CSA of the cable.CSA = pi x r2 (Applicable to solid wires only).For example:If a cable is 0.5 cm in diameter, its radius is 0.25 cm.CSA = 0.196349541 cm2You will need to decide to how many decimal places it is appropriate to quote your answer.
How do you selecte cable for load?
if your load draws a max of 15 amps then you would use 14-16 gauge wire. the lower the gauge the more current that is allowed to pass. there are charts that show max current for diameter of wire
How do you calculate armoured cable cross-sectional area?
For electrical purposes the formula for calculating the circular-mil area of a circular wire is very simple. A = D squared, Area equals diameter of the cable or wire squared. This calculation is needed when pulling cables into a cable tray so as not to overfill the tray. Over filling a cable tray will build up a heat from the cables if proper ventilation between the cables is not maintained.
What is the difference between armored cable and mc cable?
The difference between Armored cable and Metal Clad cable is that the MC cable has a EGC (Equipment Grounding Conductor). Both cables are armored, and look almost identical so watch out.
What is the diffirence between Cross cable and state cable?
The difference between a cross cable and a state cable is that a cross cable, or crossover cable, is used specifically to connect two of the same devices.
