How do you convert MCM to MM2?

1000 circular mils = 1 MCM or 1 kcmil, and is (approximately) equal to: 0.5067 mm2, so 2 kcmil ≈ 1 mm2 (a 1.3% error)

How is Kcmil calculated?

Wire Size Calculations The n gauge wire’s cross sectional area An in kilo-circular mils (kcmil) is equal to 1000 times the square wire diameter d in inches (in). The n gauge wire’s cross sectional area An in square inches (in2) is equal to pi divided by 4 times the square wire diameter d in inches (in).

Is 500 mcm the same as 500 Kcmil?

MCM is an abbreviation for thousands of circular mils, an old measurement of wire gauge. 1 MCM = 1 kcmil = 0.5067 square milimeters. A mil is 1/1000 inch. A wire 200 mils in diameter is 40 MCM.

What is the difference between Kcmil and AWG?

kcmil—In the North American electrical industry, conductors larger than 4/0 AWG are generally identified by the area in thousands of circular mils (kcmil), where 1 kcmil = 0.5067 mm². A circular mil is the area of a wire one mil in diameter.
