AS – Running Voltage Drop Calculation

  • Last UpdatedJul 11, 2025
  • 1 minute read

The ANZ standard specifies the equation for voltage drop calculation as follows:

Vd = (L * Id * Vc) / 1000

Where:

Vd = actual voltage drop, in volts

Vc = the millivolt drop per ampere-metre route length of circuit

L = route length of circuit, in metres

Id = the current to be carried by the cable, in amperes

Note:

For single phase (phase to neutral) loads Vc = Vc * 2/ 3

  • For 2 phase (phase to neutral) loads Vc = Vc * 2 / 3

  • Note this is for balanced loads i.e. no current in neutral

  • In case of cables in parallel this is the design current divided by 2.

The result of this calculation can be found in Sizing Result tab as shown below.
