This "Cable Sizing Chart" is designed to help electricians, electrical installers, and DIY enthusiasts determine the appropriate cable size for household electrical installations. Proper cable sizing is crucial to ensure the safety and efficiency of the electrical system, preventing overheating and minimizing voltage drop.
This chart provides the recommended cable sizes based on the current (in amps) and the distance (in meters) over which the cable will run. The values listed are general guidelines and should be adjusted according to local regulations and specific installation conditions. Always consult a qualified electrician or refer to local electrical codes when planning and executing electrical work.
