    Another suggestion would be to include a section on the applications of different SWG sizes. For example, smaller SWG sizes are often used for delicate electronic components, while larger SWG sizes are used for power transmission cables. This would provide readers with a better understanding of how SWG sizing affects the performance and safety of electrical systems.

      One suggestion for improvement would be to include a brief history of the SWG system and its relationship to other wire gauge systems, such as the American Wire Gauge (AWG). This would provide additional context for readers who are unfamiliar with the topic.
