Wire Gauge And Voltage Drop Calculator
Wire Gauge And Voltage Drop: a planned Super Calculator tool. Covers current (A). Stub page: the tool, its formula and a worked example are not published yet.
Wire Gauge And Voltage Drop Calculator is a planned calculator in the lifestyle section of Super Calculator, covering miscellaneous.
What this calculator will compute
Inputs: current (A), run length (m or ft), voltage (V), conductor material (label), ambient temperature (deg), installation method (label) and phase (label).
Outputs: voltage drop (V and %), minimum conductor size (mm2 or AWG), power loss (W) and code compliance flag (label).
Formula, recorded as scope and not yet verified against a primary source: Voltage drop equals two times length times current times conductor resistivity divided by cross-sectional area for a direct current or single phase run, with a root three factor for three phase. Minimum conductor size is set by code ampacity tables with derating for ambient temperature and bundling, not by voltage drop alone.
