#voltage-drop

Cable voltage-drop and conductor-sizing maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The drop endpoint computes the voltage lost along a cable run from the current, the one-way run length, the conductor cross-section and the material: the conductor resistance R = ρ·L/A, the voltage drop Vd = k·I·R (k = 2 for single-phase, √3 for three-phase), the drop as a percentage of the supply and the voltage left at the load. The sizing endpoint works backwards: from an allowable percentage drop it returns the minimum conductor cross-section needed, A ≥ k·I·ρ·L/Vd_allow, rounds up to the next standard cable size (1.5, 2.5, 4, 6, 10, 16, 25 … mm²) and reports the actual drop at that size. The power endpoint computes the power dissipated as heat in the cable, P = N·I²·R (N = 2 or 3 current-carrying conductors), and the cable efficiency given a load power. Copper (ρ = 0.0172) and aluminium (ρ = 0.0282 Ω·mm²/m) are supported. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for electrical-installation and panel-design tools, cable selection to wiring-regulation limits, solar, EV-charger and sub-main sizing, and electrical-engineering education. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is cable voltage drop and sizing; for Ohm's law, reactance and resonance use an Ohm's-law API and for transformer ratios use a transformer API.

American Wire Gauge maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically from the AWG definition. The awg endpoint takes a gauge — an integer, or 0/00/000/0000 (1/0–4/0) — and returns the conductor diameter (millimetres, inches, mils), the cross-section area (mm², kcmil and circular mils), the DC resistance per kilometre and per 1000 feet for copper and aluminium, and a typical ampacity. The convert endpoint finds the nearest standard AWG for a given cross-section area, diameter or kcmil, and also reports the exact non-integer gauge. The voltage-drop endpoint computes the round-trip voltage drop and power loss for a wiring run from the gauge (or area), length, current and conductor material, with the percentage drop and the voltage left at the load. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Resistances are at 20°C; ampacity figures are typical guidance only — real installations are governed by the NEC/IEC tables for the conductor, insulation and conditions. Ideal for electrical and electronics tools, maker and hobby projects, solar and automotive wiring, and AV and installation planning. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is wire-gauge physics; for Ohm's-law voltage/current/resistance use an electronics API and for resistor colour bands use a resistor API.
