Amp to Wire Size Calculator
Enter current, length, voltage, and allowable drop to size conductors.
How to Use This Calculator
Enter the expected current (amps), one-way cable run, supply voltage, allowable drop %, and material. The tool returns the minimum cross-sectional area to keep voltage drop within target.
Formula
A ≥ ρ · 2L · I / Vdrop,allow
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this include ampacity?
No. This converts amps to a wire size based on voltage drop only. Verify ampacity using code tables.
