Voltage Drop Calculator

What is Voltage Drop?

Voltage drop is the reduction in voltage along a conductor due to its electrical resistance when current flows.

Calculation model

Vd = I · R

Where:

  • Vd = voltage drop (V)
  • I = current (A)
  • R = conductor resistance (Ω)

Resistance is calculated from conductor material, length, and cross-sectional area.

R = ρ · 2L / A

The factor 2L accounts for the go-and-return path in single-phase circuits.
