Find the right cable diameter with just one click

An online calculator from TKD Kabel helps you select the right cable dimensions

TKD Kabel now offers an online calculator for cable cross-sections. This allows planners to determine the diameter of their cable type that will ensure reliable and efficient energy transmission for the intended application. The cable cross-section calculator is part of the range of services with which the company supports its customers in the complete supply of cables and wires.

Which cable cross-section is right for my application? This question is crucial when it comes to selecting the right cable dimensions. By choosing the correct cable size, planners can ensure that cables are able to dissipate the heat generated by electrical resistance. This protects the electrical installation from overheating, fire hazards, and energy loss. The cable cross-section calculator from TKD Kabel provides users with an initial important assessment of which cable cross-section they should plan for their installation.

Easy operation facilitates comparative calculations

To do this, they only need to enter a few values. The cable cross-section is determined from the relationship between electrical current, voltage, and resistance. The corresponding formula and the resistance values for common metals are stored in the online calculator. Users simply select their intended cable material (copper, aluminum, etc.), enter the power, voltage, and intended length, and immediately receive the required cable cross-section in mm² with a single click. This also makes it easy to perform comparative calculations.

For international projects: Conversion to AWG included

With the online calculator from TKD Kabel, the determined cable cross-sections can also be converted into AWG, the American Wire Gauge. The logarithmic coding for wire diameters is derived from the number of drawing dies used to produce a defined cross-section. It is a widely used standard in North America. By converting cable cross-sections from mm² to AWG, users can also select the appropriate cable types for electrical installations in international projects in order to meet specified standards..

TKD experts directly accessible from the website

The cable cross-section is only one value for estimating the current-carrying capacity of a cable, i.e., how much current it can safely carry on a permanent basis. The materials used, the type of installation, and the ambient temperature are also decisive factors for the operational safety of the electrical installation. TKD Kabel therefore recommends that the determined cross-section be evaluated and specified in conjunction with these application-specific conditions. The specialist for complete solutions consisting of cables and wires supports customers with comprehensive advice on technical questions regarding the application, product properties, or selection of materials. This means that a chat with a TKD expert can be started directly from the TKD website or an appointment for a video consultation can be made.
