● Cable diameter to circle cross-sectional area and vice vers

Round electric cable, conductor, wire, cord, string, wiring


Cross section is just a two-dimensional view of a slice through an object.
An often asked question: How can you convert the diameter of a round wire d = 2 × r to the
circle cross section surface or the cross-section area A (slice plane) to the cable diameter d?
Why is the diameter value greater than the area value? Because that's not the same.
Resistance varies inversely with the cross-sectional area of a wire.

The required cross-section of an electrical line depends on the following factors:


1) Rated voltage. Net form. (Three-phase (DS) / AC (WS))
2) Fuse - Upstream backup = Maximum permissible current (Amp)
3) On schedule to be transmitted power (kVA)
4) Cable length in meters (m)
5) Permissible voltage drop (% of the rated voltage)
6) Line material. Copper (Cu) or aluminum (Al)

The "unit" is usually millimeters but it can also be inches, feet, yards, meters (metres),

Cross sectional area is not diameter.

Cross section is an area.


Diameter is a linear measure.
That cannot be the same.

The cable diameter in millimeters


is not the cable cross-section in
square millimeters.

The cross section or the cross sectional area is the area of such a cut.
It need not necessarily have to be a circle.

Commercially available wire (cable) size as cross sectional area:


0.75 mm2, 1.5 mm2, 2.5 mm2, 4 mm2, 6 mm2, 10 mm2, 16 mm2.

Calculation of the cross section A, entering the diameter d = 2 r:

r = radius of the wire or cable


d = 2 r = diameter of the wire or cable

Calculation of the diameter d = 2 r, entering the cross section A:

The conductor (electric cable)


There are four factors that affect the resistance of a conductor:
1) the cross sectional area of a conductor A, calculated from the diameter d
2) the length of the conductor
3) the temperature in the conductor
4) the material constituting the conductor
There is no exact formula for the minimum wire size from the maximum amperage.
It depends on many circumstances, such as for example, if the calculation is for DC, AC or
even for three-phase current, whether the cable is released freely, or is placed under the
ground. Also, it depends on the ambient temperature, the allowable current density, and the
allowable voltage drop, and whether solid or litz wire is present. And there is always the
nice but unsatisfactory advice to use for security reasons a thicker and hence more
expensive cable. Common questions are about the voltage drop on wires.

Voltage drop Δ V
The voltage drop formula with the specific resistance (resistivity) ρ (rho) is:

 Δ V = I × R = I × (2 × l × ρ / A) 

I = Current in ampere
l = Wire (cable) length in meters (times 2, because there is always a return wire)
ρ = rho, electrical resistivity (also known as specific electrical resistance or volume
resistivity) of copper = 0.01724 ohm×mm2/m (also Ω×m)
(Ohms for l = 1 m length and A = 1 mm2 cross section area of the wire)     ρ =1/σ
A = Cross section area in mm2

The value of the electrical conductivity (conductance) and the specific electrical resista
(resistivity) is a temperature dependent material constant. Mostly it is given at 20 or 25

istance = resistivity x length / area


The specific resistivity of conductors changes with temperature.
In a limited temperature range it is approximately linear:

where α is the temperature coefficient, T is the temperature and T0 is any temperature


such as T0 = 293.15 K = 20°C at which the electrical resistivity ρ (T0) is known.

Mathematically, conductance is the reciprocal, or inverse, of resistance:

The symbol for conductance is the capital letter "G" and the unit is the
mho, which is "ohm" spelled backwards. Later, the unit mho was
replaced by the unit Siemens − abbreviated with the letter "S".

The gauges we most commonly use are even numbers, such as 18, 16, 14, etc.
If you get an answer that is odd, such as 17, 19, etc., use the next lower even number.
AWG stands for American Wire Gauge and refers to the strength of wires.
These AWG numbers show the diameter and accordingly the cross section as a code.
They are only used in the USA. Sometimes you find AWG numbers also in catalogues
and technical data in Europe.

● Ohm's Law ●
Calculator and all Formulas
Resistance (ohms), current (amps), and voltage
Ohm's Law is the linear proportionality between current and voltage that occurs for most condu
of electricity. A graph of voltage against current is a straight line. The gradient is the resistance.

Practitioners rarely speak of potential difference, when electrical voltage (drop) is meant. VIR

Electrical voltage = current times resistance "VIR"

The mathematical formulas of Ohm's Law


Ohm's Law can be rewritten in three ways for calculating current, resistance, and voltage.
If a current I should flow through a resistor R, the voltage V can be calculated.

First Version of the (voltage) formula: V=I×R


If there is a voltage V across a resistor R, a current I flows through it. I can be calculated.

Second Version of the (current) formula: I=V/R


If a current I flows through a resistor, and there is a voltage V across the resistor

Third Version of the (resistance) formula: R=V/I


All of these variations of the so called "Ohm's Law" are mathematically equal

What is the formula for electrical current?


When the current is constant:
I=ΔQ/Δt
I is the current in amps (A)
Δ Q is the electric charge in coulombs (C),
that flows at time duration of Δ t in seconds (s).

Voltage V = current I × resistance R


Power P = voltage V × current I

In electrical conductors, in which the current and voltage are proportional


to each other, ohm's law apply: V ~ I or V ⁄ I = const.
Constantan wires or other metal wires held at a constant temperature meet well ohm's law.

"V ⁄ I = R = const." ist not the law of ohm. It is the definition of the resistance.
Thereafter, in every point, even with a bent curve, the resistance value can be calculated.

For many electrical components such as diodes ohm's law does not apply.

"Ohm's Law" has not been invented by Mr. Ohm


"U ⁄ I = R = const." is not the law of Ohm or Ohm's law. It is the definition of the resistance.
Thereafter, in every point - even with a bent curve - the resistance value can be calculated.
Ohm's law "postulates" following relationship: When a voltage is applied to an object, the electr
current flowing through it changes the strength proportional to the voltage. In other words, the
electrical resistance, defined as the quotient of voltage and currentis constant, and that is
independent of voltage and current. The name of the law "honors" Georg Simon Ohm, who cou
prove this relationship for some simple electrical conductors as one of the first searchers.
"Ohm's Law" has really not been invented by Ohm.

 Tip: Ohm's magic triangle

The magic V I R  triangle can be used to calculate all formulations of ohm's law.
Use a finger to hide the value to be calculated. The other two values then show
how to do the calculation.
The symbol I or J = Latin: influare, international ampere, and R = resistance. V = voltage or
electric potential difference, also called voltage drop, or E = electromotive force (emf = voltage)

Voltage drop calculations - DC / single phase calculation


The voltage drop V in volts (V) is equal to the wire current I in amps (A) times twice
the wire length L in feet (ft) times the wire resistance per 1000 feet R in ohms (Ω / kft)
divided by 1000:
Vdrop (V) = Iwire (A) × Rwire (Ω)
= Iwire (A) × (2 × L (ft) × Rwire (Ω / kft) / 1000 (ft / kft))  

The voltage drop V in volts (V) is equal to the wire current I in amps (A) times twice
the wire length L in meters (m) times the wire resistance per 1000 meters R in ohms
(Ω / km) divided by 1000:
Vdrop (V) = Iwire (A) × Rwire (Ω)
= Iwire (A) × (2 × L (m) × Rwire (Ω / km) / 1000 (m / km))

If the unit of power P = I × V and of voltage V = I · R


look for
"The Big Power Formulas":
Calculations: power (watt), voltage, current, resistance

Some persons think that Georg Simon Ohm calculated the "specific resistance".
Therefore they think that only the following can be the true ohm's law.

The value of the electrical conductivity (conductance) and the specific electric
(resistivity) is a temperature dependent material constant. Mostly it is given at
Resistance R = ρ × (l / A) or R = l / (σ × A)
For all conductors the specific resistivity changes with the temperature. In a lim
temperature range it is approximately linear:

where α is the temperature coefficient, T is the temperature and T0 is any tem


such as T0 = 293.15 K = 20°C at which the electrical resistivity ρ (T0) is known

Cross-sectional area - cross section - slice plane


Now there is the question:
How can we calculate the cross sectional area (slice plane) A
from the wire diameter d and vice versa?

Calculation of the cross section A (slice plane) from diameter d:

r = radius of the wire


d = diameter of the wire

Calculation diameter d from cross section A (slice plane):

Cross section A of the wire in mm2 inserted in this formula gives the diameter d in mm.

Calculation − Round cables and wires:

Ohm's law. V = I × R, where V is the potential across a circuit element, I is the current
through it, and R is its resistance. This is not a generally applicable definition of
resistance. It is only applicable to ohmic resistors, those whose resistance R is
constant over the range of interest and V obeys a strictly linear relation to I. Materials
are said to be ohmic when V depends linearly on R. Metals are ohmic so long as one
holds their temperature constant. But changing the temperature of a metal changes
slightly. When the current changes rapidly, as when turning on a light, or when using AC
sources, slightly non-linear and non-ohmic behavior can be observed. For non-ohmic
resistors, R is current-dependent and the definition R = dV/dI is far more useful. This is
sometimes called the dynamic resistance. Solid state devices such as thermistors are
non-ohmic and non-linear. A thermistor's resistance decreases as it warms up, so its
dynamic resistance is negative. Tunnel diodes and some electrochemical processes
have a complicated I to V curve with a negative resistance region of operation. The
dependence of resistance on current is partly due to the change in the device's
temperature with increasing current, but other subtle processes also contribute to
change in resistance in solid state devices.
