[FWDLK] Wires

[Vincent Van Humbeeck <vincent.vanhumbeeck@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi group,

When looking at a wiring diagram, one sees "16 Orange", or "18 Red & Black".
What does the number in front of the color specifies ?

I would suppose it is wire surface related, as in Europe we specify wire
capacity by the copper surface (ie 2.5 square millimeters or 0.75 square
millimeters) in the section of the wire. But what unit is it ?

Thanks.
