   “This will allow for up to two additional 2/0 AWG Type TW conductors to be installed at a later date.”

   “Cable size 10 AWG has an ampacity of 40 amps (90°C insulation) or 35 amps (evaluated with 75°C insulation).”

   “For example: What is the allowable ampacity of one of three 8 AWG THHN copper conductors in a metal raceway system used at 60°C?”

2. (abbreviation, alt-of, countable, initialism, uncountable)Initialism of arbitrary waveform generator.
3. (abbreviation, alt-of, countable, initialism, uncountable)Initialism of arrayed waveguide grating.

   “An important parameter in the AWG is the free spectral range (FSR) which defines the wavelength periodicity of fixed width [12].”

name

1. (abbreviation, alt-of, initialism)Initialism of Anthropocene Working Group.

   “The AWG is working backwards, Finney says: normally, geologists identify strata that should enter the geological timescale before considering a golden spike; in this case, they’re seeking out the lower boundary of an undefined set of geological layers.”
