| NOMOGRAPH Current vs. Wire Gauge vs. Voltage Drop |
| NOMOGRAPH Slew Rate vs. Frequency vs. Output Voltage |
To use this nomograph, first click on the Nomograph and print out a hard copy, then follow the directions below.
This Nomograph can be used to find:
-
Voltage drop in millivolts per foot for known wire size and operating current:
- With a straight edge, connect the known current on scale 1 and the wire size on scale 2.
- Read voltage drop on scale 3.
-
Maximum current carrying capacity recommended for any standard wire size (Based on an arbitrary minimum 500 circular mils per Ampere. High temperature class insulation will safely allow higher currents.)
- With a straight edge, connect from the wire size on Scale 2 to point "A" on Scale 3.
- Read Imax on Scale 1.
-
Wire size required for known operating current and known maximum tolerable voltage drop across supply leads
- Determine maximum tolerable drop in millivolts per foot of lead (sum of positive and negative leads).
- Connect the value on Scale 3 (as determined in step 1.) to the known current on scale 1.
- Read wire size on Scale 2.
