Wire Size Calculator
Calculate the correct wire gauge (AWG) for electrical circuits. Factor in amperage, voltage, distance, and voltage drop limits.
Wire Sizing Guide
Wire must handle both the current (ampacity) and keep voltage drop below 3% (NEC recommendation). Longer runs need larger wire. Aluminum needs 1 size larger than copper.
