EqSWG is equivalent wire gauges.
This is a simple software useful in electrical machine maintenance services
like motors & transformer rewinding. Many times it is required to find
thinner wire combinations in place of original wires for ease of winding.
Or you may not have required wires for that coil in your inventory & you
want to use wires from your inventory. In such case wires are used 
in parallel. To find such combinations where cross-sectional 
area of original wire and combined cross-sectional area of combination
is same, this software can be used. It can give combinations in 
+/-0.5% tolerance in cross-sectional area.


* How to use?
1) In first form enter the wire gauge found in a burnt coil.
   For a coil with rectangular section enter thickness & width.
2) Enter no of parallel wires found & total weight of winding of 
   burnt motor. If it is not possible to find out total weight,
   don't enter it, weight check will get disabled.
3) In second form enter available wires and their weights from which 
   you wish to rewind a coil. Don't enter too many wires, you will get
   too many useless combinations.
3) Click next, you will get all equivalent combinations. If weight 
   of any available wire is not sufficient for the coil, you will 
   get a (*) mark against that wire. At the end of each combination
   you will get combined cross-sectional area of that combination.
4) You can take printout of selected or all combinations.

You will need vb500a.zip self-installing vb5 runtime module to run this program.
You can download it from URL:  http://www.simtel.net/simtel.net/win95/dll.html

I hope that you find this program useful, I have released it as freeware.

I welcome your comments on this program to me at  jadhavchetan@Hotmail.Com
