Cable Sizing & Voltage Drop (IEC)

Conductor selection for current capacity and voltage drop with adiabatic check.

What this workbook is

A real, downloadable Microsoft Excel workbook — not a rendered demo. Every sheet is built around a single engineering method: inputs in one place, calculated results and a PASS / WARN / FAIL check sheet, with the method, sources and assumptions recorded next to the numbers. Open it in Excel, Sheets or LibreOffice, change the inputs, and the workbook recalculates.

  • Light cells are user-entered inputs on the Inputs sheet.
  • Dark cells are calculated automatically and are not editable.
  • The method and sources for every calculation are listed below and inside the workbook.

What you enter

  • Load kW / pf / phase
  • Length
  • Ampacity & factors (user)
  • Voltage drop limit

What it calculates

  • Design current Ib
  • Required / selected S
  • Voltage drop %
  • Adiabatic check

Method

Ib from P=âˆڑ3VIآ·pf; apply IEC 60364-5-52 / BS 7671 correction factors (user tables); Vd = mV/A/mأ—Ibأ—L/1000; kآ²Sآ² ≥ Iآ²t

Sources

  • [1] IEC 60364-5-52 / BS 7671 (method; tables user-supplied)
