Electrical Engineering Calculation Suite
Practical Calculations and Engineering Reference Tools
Calculate voltage drop, power, transformer capacity, motor current, conduit fill and electrical load schedules in one place.
Voltage drop calculator
Estimate line voltage drop using conductor resistance/reactance inputs.
Power factor & kW / kVA
Convert real, apparent and reactive power for single- or three-phase systems.
Transformer sizing
Estimate required kVA from connected load and a design margin.
Cable selection reference
Indicative copper conductor reference values. Confirm installation-specific ampacity and derating.

*Current ranges are illustrative only and vary significantly with insulation, ambient temperature, installation method, grouping, soil conditions and local code. Resistance values are approximate copper values at 20°C.
Motor current & power
Estimate input power and line current from motor output power and efficiency.
Conduit fill estimator
Calculate approximate fill percentage using internal conduit diameter and cable outside diameter.
Electrical load schedule
Add loads to estimate connected kW, kVA and design current. Values are preliminary.
| Load | Qty | Connected (kW) | Demand (kW) | PF | Action |

Important: Results and reference tables are preliminary estimates, not a substitute for applicable electrical codes, manufacturer data, fault-level/protection coordination, thermal calculations, or review by a qualified electrical engineer. Cable ampacity and conduit fill requirements depend on local standards and installation conditions.
