AWG Math
According to the American Wire
Gauge (AWG) system, solid wire sizes are based on a logarithmic scale,
whereby doubling the cross-sectional area corresponds to a wire size
decrease of 3 (like with dB). So, using two #30 wires in parallel is
the equivalent to a single #27 wire, and four #30 wires in parallel
is equivalent to a single #24 wire.
