About the Wire Size Calculator

Checks both the current the wire can carry and the voltage drop over your cable length, then picks the smallest safe size.

How to use

  1. Enter the load in watts, kW, HP or amps.
  2. Enter the cable length, wire type and how it is laid.
  3. See the recommended mm² size and the MCB.

Frequently asked questions

Which wire for a 1.5 ton AC?
Usually 2.5 mm² copper with a 16 A C-curve MCB for short runs; long runs need 4 mm². Enter your length to check.
Are the values exact?
They are typical manufacturer values for PVC wire. Hot roofs and bunched cables need a bigger size — follow IS 732.
