No such thing as 1/0 awg, only 0/1, and they're all the same.

And for the record, 0/2 is bigger than 0/1.

1/0 is the correct term. I guess you could call it zero gauge but thats not how its referred to. For the larger wires (1/0) I believe its pronounced "one aught". For the smaller wires (1 without the 0) it would be pronounced "one gauge".

AWG 	          Diameter (inch) 
0000 (4/0) 	0.4600 		
000 (3/0) 	0.4096 		
00 (2/0) 	0.3648 		
0 (1/0) 	0.3249 	
1 	        0.2893 		
2 	        0.2576 	
3 	        0.2294 	
4 	        0.2043 	
5 	        0.1819 	
6 	        0.1620 	
7 	        0.1443 	
8 	        0.1285

you got it backwards..

it is 1/0 2/0

other wise it would be read 1 gauge 2 gauge..
