Tips & common mistakes

Quick tips

1 mm² = 0.01 cm² = 10⁻⁶ m².
Electrical cables: 1 mm² up to 10 A; 2.5 mm² up to 16 A (EU standards).
Always convert to m² for large structures; mm² for precision parts.

Avoid these

Using mm² instead of cm² for medium-sized surfaces — clutters figures.
Confusing mm² with mm — different dimensions.
Assuming a cable rated at 1.5 mm² is 1.5 mm wide — it is the conductive cross-section.
