Verify existing conductor size

[anbm]

If the installed conductors do not have label/print on it, is there a way to
verify its size?

micrometer.....or ask someone who is familiar with wire sizes to look at it.

Once you have the micrometer in hand, refer to Table 8, Chapter 9 (Pg 70-681 in the ['08 Code)

If it is small sized from 14-6 I use my wire striper to verify the size.

Harder to measure using a mike with stranded, especially if it has been bent.

 

[ActionDave]

Hard to measure with a mike anyway. I would use a calliper or a wire gauge.
