Using below 3mmauto is fine wires and can break from vibration
auto sizes are bad to use anyways
3mm auto = 1 mmsq
4mm auto = 2mmsq use this as minimum

This is a printable PDF that I use as a voltage drop and size gauge when needed. At the bottom is a conversion chart from AWG to Metric.
If you print the page as A4 without re-sizing it, then the conversion chart at the bottom should be reasonably accurate. Note the black dots represent the wire thickness witout the insulation.
thanks Joe, tucked it away as I know Im going to need it one day

Thanks Mad Steve,
If you change orientation to Landscape and increase size to 90% it makes a very readable document, buggers your dot size a bit though, so will laminate both together I think and mark the right size dots 1st. Thanks for that, cheers Craig
This wiring chart might come in handy.

Gday...
Always good to get info ...
I had this one tucked away...
Cheers - John
wire size chart is absolutely no good if used for high currents with out volt drop chart /calculator.
www.voltagedropcalculator.com.au/
voltdrops allowable
most 3-5 %
solar 0-3 %

I have recently found this one too
