Voltage Drop Calculator
This tool helps you determine the voltage drop across electrical cables. It’s essential for ensuring efficient energy transfer and preventing equipment damage due to low voltage. Voltage drop occurs when current flows through a conductor and meets resistance, reducing the power reaching the load.
Using the formula:
Voltage Drop (V) = Current (I) Ć Resistance (R)
or factoring in cable length and material, this calculator gives accurate results for both AC and DC systems. Itās ideal for electricians, engineers, and installers who need to meet code requirements and optimize system performance.
For example, in long cable runs, excessive voltage drop can lead to device malfunction or energy waste. Knowing this early helps you select the right cable size and material.
Use this calculator to ensure reliable and efficient electrical installations, from residential wiring to industrial setups.
