Wire Size Calculator

Find the minimum copper cable size for your load, checking both voltage drop and current-carrying capacity.

Recommended minimum cable size
Checks both voltage drop and standard current-carrying capacity (ampacity) for PVC-insulated copper cable in conduit, and recommends whichever requires the larger size. This is a planning estimate — always confirm against the specific electrical code that applies to your installation.
