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
world uses except to entertain you ?

Have you never heard of mm^2 ?

Forget how to convert Graham?

I don't think 10 awg will be a problem, as long as the # of turns is the
same. Measure the current to be sure.

Oh I can convert. Trouble is, IME a single gauge can cover a range of
CSAs. Plus it's pointlessly and wastefully time consuming.
