Voltage Drop Calculator

Calculate voltage drop in wires

Current: $12 AWG, $100ft, $20A, $120V $

How It Works

Calculate voltage drop in electrical conductors based on wire size, length, and current.

A voltage drop calculator estimates the loss of electrical potential along a conductor due to its resistance. Excessive voltage drop can cause equipment malfunction, reduced efficiency, and overheating. The National Electrical Code recommends less than 3% voltage drop for branch circuits and 5% for feeders. Calculations depend on wire material (copper or aluminum), gauge (AWG), circuit length, and current in amperes.
