Amp to Wire Size Calculator
Convert amps to a suggested wire gauge with typical ratings.
Electrical calculators with clear outputs and validation for fast estimating.
These electrical calculators handle the everyday sizing and reference work pros and DIYers need: wire and conduit sizing, voltage drop, load, and breaker selection. Lookups follow published NEC tables and results show clear pass/fail and percentage outputs. Always confirm against the current NEC edition adopted in your jurisdiction before any installed work.

Calculate voltage drop by distance, load, and wire size. Shows percent drop.
Convert between watts, amps, and volts using standard formulas.
Get a wire gauge recommendation based on amperage and conductor type.
Wire size, voltage drop, conduit fill, electrical load, breaker size, amp-to-wire-size, watts/amps/volts, cable tray fill, and Ohm's law.
Yes. Ampacity, conduit fill, and related lookups follow published National Electrical Code tables. Always verify against the current NEC edition adopted in your jurisdiction.
Use them for planning and estimating only. Installed and permitted work should be designed and verified by a licensed electrician for code compliance.
Excessive drop causes poor performance and overheating. The NEC recommends keeping it to roughly 3% on a branch circuit and 5% total, which often drives larger wire on long runs.
