Note: AWG (American Wire Gauge) is commonly used in North America. ISO 13297 uses metric mm² sizing. Use this converter to find equivalent sizes when working with AWG specifications.

Add Conductor to List
Instructions: Enter the conductor name and specifications, then click "Add to List". The system will calculate voltage drop and ampacity automatically.
Voltage Drop Guidelines:
DC Systems (12V, 24V, 48V): Maximum 3% for critical equipment, 10% for general circuits
AC Systems (115V, 230V): Typically 5% maximum, though some applications may allow up to 7%. Consider power factor and AC-specific factors.

Usage Notes:
- Base ampacity values are for single conductors in free air at 30°C ambient temperature
- Type A stranding: Standard fixed installation where conductors remain stationary
- Type B stranding: Required for flexible applications with frequent movement or vibration
- Apply derating factors when conductors are bundled or located in engine rooms
