{"Page URL":["https://www.appropedia.org/Wire_length_tables"],"Page description":["When designing an electrical system, it is important to pick the correct length of and size (gauge) wire for your application to minimize voltage loss and ensure safety. If there is a lot of current running through a small wire (small wire meaning a wire with a small diameter) for a long distance, there will be significant voltage drop (causing a decrease in current arriving at the load). This may also cause the wire to become hot and burn or catch fire. It is important to choose a wire big enough (big wire meaning a wire with a large diameter) for any application based on the current that is expected to run through that wire, and the wire's round trip distance (or total wire length)."],"Page language":["en"],"Page license":["CC-BY-SA-3.0"],"Page title":["Wire length tables"],"Page views":[285],"Page year":["Tuesday, 01-Jan-19 00:00:00 UTC"],"Modification date":["Thursday, 27-Nov-25 23:56:08 UTC"]}
