Calculator preliminar

Voltage drop calculator

Estimate voltage drop for a selected conductor size, material, route length, and system type.

How to use this calculator

  • Enter one-way route length. AC and DC return-path factors are handled automatically.
  • This is a simplified resistive estimate intended for fast engineering checks and concept validation.
  • Final design still needs code-specific checks for installation method, temperature correction, harmonics, grouping, and fault duty.

Voltage drop status

Within limit

The selected cable size stays within the configured voltage-drop target.

Voltage drop

1.04%

4.17 V estimated drop over the selected route.

Allowed drop

12 V

Maximum drop allowed by your target percentage.

Remaining voltage

395.83 V

Estimated voltage available at the load after the cable drop.

Cable ampacity

76 A

Reference ampacity from the simplified baseline table for the selected cable size.
