The coil in an industrial electromagnetic clutch (connecting the flywheel to

I was just informed that the original wire was about 12 ga. (maybe slightly
larger; original was metric) but it was rewound using 10 ga.


Why do Americans persist in using stupid AWG that no-one else in the

Have you never heard of mm^2 ?
