The standard voltage for the telephone system is 48 volts DC. Ringing voltage is much higher, around 90 volts AC at a low frequency. When you place a load of about 600 ohms on the line, you are off hook or connected. Telephone ringer voltage is 50.5 volts at standing and -50.5 volts at ringing.
Wire Gauges. Wire gauge is denoted by a whole number ranging from 0000 to 40; decreasing in diameter as numbers get larger. Household wiring for 120-V circuits is almost always 12- or 14-gauge copper wire, depending on the current load and length of the circuit. The diameter of the metal conductor in a 12-gauge copper wire is 0.0808 inches; of a 14-gauge wire is 0.0641 inches.
