: Enter the total Amps or Watts the circuit will pull.

This is the amount of electrical flow the cable must handle. You calculate this by dividing the total wattage of your appliances by the voltage of the system. : A 7.5 kW motor at 240V draws approximately 15A. 2. Voltage Drop cable calculator

: Input 120V, 240V, or specialized industrial voltages. : Enter the total Amps or Watts the circuit will pull

Single-phase: [ V_d = \frac2 \times L \times I \times (R \cos\phi + X \sin\phi)1000 ] Three-phase: [ V_d = \frac\sqrt3 \times L \times I \times (R \cos\phi + X \sin\phi)1000 ] Result must be ≤ permitted drop. cable calculator

: The tool will recommend a minimum "Area" (mm²) or American Wire Gauge (AWG).
