Voltage Drop Calculator

 



This calculation is applicable only to Copper-Sheathed MI Wiring cable.

Number of Conductors

These calculated voltage drops represent line to line voltage drop in a 3-phase system. To estimate the single phase voltage drop, simply multiply the 3 phase line to line voltage drop by 1.16.

In the rare instances where line to neutral voltage drop in a three phase system is required, multiply the 3 phase line to line voltage drop by 0.58.


* Load current is used for voltage drop calculations, but conductor size must be chosen based on calculated ampacity with safety factors as required by code.
