Voltage Drop Calculator helps contractors and tradespeople accurately size, spec, and estimate materials and systems.

सूत्र

VD = (2 × K × I × L) / CM where K=12.9(Cu), I=amps, L=feet, CM=circular mils

चरण-दर-चरण मार्गदर्शिका

  1. 1Enter circuit amps, one-way distance, and wire gauge circular mils
  2. 2Apply the formula using your project measurements
  3. 3Add required safety factors or waste allowances per code

हल किए गए उदाहरण

इनपुट
15A, 100 ft, 12 AWG (6530 CM)
परिणाम
VD = (2×12.9×15×100)/6530 = 5.94V = 4.95% (max 3% recommended)

सामान्य गलतियां जिनसे बचना है

  • Not applying code-required safety factors or derating
  • Forgetting to account for waste and cut losses in material estimates
