About This Calculator

This cable calculator helps determine the appropriate cable size for electrical installations based on British (BS7671) and International (IEC 60364-5-52) standards.

The calculator considers current carrying capacity and voltage drop to recommend the minimum cable size that meets both requirements. The voltage drop is limited to 3% as per standard regulations.

Important: These calculations are provided as a guide only. Always consult with a qualified electrician and comply with local electrical codes and regulations before installation.
