Voltage Drop Calculation
| Amps x Distance (one way) | = VDI |
| Voltage x Percent Loss |
| VDI | Gauge | Example | ||
| 1 | = | #16 | 10 Amps Current | |
| 2 | = | #14 | 100 Feet one way distance | |
| 3 | = | #12 | 24 Volt system | |
| 5 | = | #10 | 2% Loss | |
| 8 | = | #8 | ||
| 12 | = | #6 | 10 x 100 = 20.83 24 x 2 |
|
| 20 | = | #4 | ||
| 34 | = | #2 | ||
| 49 | = | 1/0 | Use #4 wire | |
| 62 | = | 2/0 | ||
| 78 | = | 3/0 | ||
| 99 | = | 4/0 |
