Як розрахувати Wire Sizing
Що таке Wire Sizing?
Wire sizing selects conductor diameter to limit voltage drop and prevent overheating. Code requires ampacity matching and voltage drop limits.
Формула
Calculate voltage drop: VD = (2×K×I×L) / (1000×A) for DC or single-phase
- VD
- (2×K×I×L) / (1000×A) for DC or single-phase — (2×K×I×L) / (1000×A) for DC or single-phase
- K
- K value — Variable used in the calculation
- I
- I value — Variable used in the calculation
- L
- L value — Variable used in the calculation
- A
- A value — Variable used in the calculation
- DC
- DC value — Variable used in the calculation
Покрокова інструкція
- 1Look up ampacity from tables at operating temperature
- 2Calculate voltage drop: VD = (2×K×I×L) / (1000×A) for DC or single-phase
- 3Select wire where VD <3% feeder, <5% combined

Введення
I = 100 A, L = 50 m, copper wire, assume 60°C ampacity table
Результат
AWG 6 (106 A) with ~3.1% drop, marginal
AWG 4 better choice
Поширені помилки
- ✕Using listed ampacity without derating for temperature or bundling
- ✕Neglecting voltage drop in long feeder runs
Часті запитання
Why limit voltage drop?
Excessive drop reduces equipment performance, efficiency, and motor starting capability.
How does temperature affect wire sizing?
Higher temperature reduces ampacity; must derate if ambient >30°C.
