Inputs

Impedance (R–X) Method
NEC (K·I·L/CM) Method
Conductor Material
Conductor Size
Length (one way)
Supply Type
Temperature
Supply Voltage (V)

For Three-Phase (3Ø) systems, enter line-to-line voltage Eg. 480 V not 277 V.

Load Current (A)
Resistance
Reactance
Cable Type
Grouping
Conduit Material
Power Factor

For the Impedence Method, when R, Resistance (Ω) and X, Reactance (Ω) are left at 0, Impedence is estimated using simplified assumptions. For higher accuracy, populate measured or tabulated R and X values from manufacturer data sheets or IEEE Std 141 Tables 4A-7, 4A-8.
