Voltage Drop Calculator

Calculate voltage drop in electrical wires based on current, wire length, size, and material. Ensure your electrical installations meet NEC standards.

NEC Voltage Drop Guidelines

  • Branch Circuits: Voltage drop should not exceed 3%
  • Feeders: Voltage drop should not exceed 5%
  • Total (Feeder + Branch): Total voltage drop should not exceed 5%

Note: This calculator provides the one-way voltage drop. For total circuit drop, enter the full wire run length (source to load).
