Which could mean they had a wire with a 1 cm² cross section and were able to pass 2 MA through it. It wasn't explained any further, so it is hard to say what they might have meant. however, you might want to go to the sight http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com, find the blurb and contact the Guinness editors and show them the errors of their ways.
