Wire Ampacity Calculator

The calculator counts the conductor’s ampacity based on conductor type and conductor size.

- +

 

A wire ampacity calculator helps determine the safe current-carrying capacity of a wire based on its gauge, material, insulation type, installation conditions, and ambient temperature.

How does a Wire Ampacity Calculator take into account different wire insulation types?

The calculator incorporates the thermal properties of various insulation types. Different insulation materials can handle different levels of heat, affecting the wire's ampacity.

Is the Wire Ampacity Calculator suitable for both AC and DC systems?

Yes, it is generally suitable for both. However, the specifics of AC and DC systems, like resistance and reactance in AC systems, might be treated differently.
