Specific Wire Properties
Instructions
The Construction Monkey Conductor calculator lets you figure out electrical characteristics
of wires including the ampacity, circular mills, area, resistance, reactance, impendance, conduit fill, and voltage drop.
Make your selections below and the form will automatically update the values.

Good design requirements should limit overall voltage drop to less than 5%.
Notes:
1Ampacity based NEC Table 310-16, which is based on three (3) current carrying conductors at 30 degrees Celsius Ambient
2Calculations based on 0.85 Power Factor
3Based on NEC Table 9
4Check Conductor derating Factors for more than three (3) current carrying conductors
5Load for Voltage Drop is calculated based on 80% ampacity load of maximum allowable ampacity
