Hi everybody.
Someone knows if the current specified in the various AWG Wire Tables we find in the web, are AC Current or DC Current?
I thougth it was the same 'cause is the RMS value of a Current Waveform and this is the same as a DC current value. But i have seen in the Relays Specifications, that they support more AC current than DC. I don't know if the current they say for an AC Voltaje is the pike value or the rms value.
For example, i've seen some relays to say:
this is the switch voltage--> Coil: 12 Vdc
these values are for-------> 7A 120Vac
the contacts----------------> 3A 30Vdc
So, i want to know if the current specified in te AWG Wire Tables are rms, pike or dc values.
