Voltage Drop Calculator
Calculate voltage drop in single-phase, three-phase, and DC cables with interactive real-time visual simulation. Check BS 7671 (UK) or IEC 60364 (international) limit sets.
Professional-grade electrical calculators designed for electricians, apprentices, engineers, and students. Visualise current flow, voltage drop, and conductor physics interactively right in your browser.
Calculate voltage drop in single-phase, three-phase, and DC cables with interactive real-time visual simulation. Check BS 7671 (UK) or IEC 60364 (international) limit sets.
Pick a load, set the run and a voltage-drop limit, and see the smallest cable size (mm²) that keeps the voltage drop inside it — with a live source → cable → load scene that redraws the cable as you change it.
Convert and calculate Real Power (kW), Apparent Power (kVA), Reactive Power (kVAR), and full-load current across AC and DC systems.
Estimate maximum demand, apply diversity factors, and calculate total circuit loading for domestic and commercial installations.
Calculate appliance energy consumption, running costs per hour/day/year, and potential savings based on electricity unit rates.
Don't just look at dry numbers. See voltage loss along the cable, observe particle velocity proportional to current, and watch conductor heating in real time.
