Voltage Drop & Wire Size brings voltage-drop calculation and wire sizing into one practical workflow. Check a run with the conductor you already have in mind, see the result immediately, and move to a better size when the drop is outside your target. • Check voltage drop with the conductor you want to evaluate • Find the smallest available size that meets your selected target • Send the recommended size back into the calculation The app supports NEC / AWG and BS-style / Metric workflows across DC, single-phase AC, split-phase 120/240, and three-phase AC systems. You can enter load in amps or watts, choose copper or aluminum conductors, and work from preset drop limits or a custom target depending on the job you are checking. • Review voltage drop in volts and percent • See load voltage, running current, power loss, and a next-size-up comparison • Adjust power factor and installation method For NEC-based work, the app also supports ampacity-aware calculations with continuous load, ambient temperature, conductor grouping, and conductor temperature rating inputs. Saved calculations can be reopened later with notes, and ambient temperature can be shown in Celsius or Fahrenheit. • Review adjusted ampacity in NEC mode • Reopen saved calculations and keep notes with the job • Switch ambient temperature display between Celsius and Fahrenheit This app is intended as calculation guidance. Verify final conductor selection, ampacity, and installation requirements against the applicable standard and manufacturer data before use.

About

Voltage Drop.

Features
Read full description

Voltage Drop is a practical electrical calculation toolkit for electrical engineers, technicians, electricians, and students. Three tools in one: • VOLTAGE DROP CALCULATOR — Computes voltage drop for single/three-phase and copper/aluminum, and checks the result against your chosen 1.5%, 3% or 5% limit. It recommends the minimum cross-section that satisfies BOTH the voltage-drop limit and the current-carrying capacity. • CABLE SIZING — Finds the smallest cable cross-section required for your load and line, and lists the cable types available in that size. • CABLE CATALOG — Provides the technical features of common low-voltage cables (NYA, NYAF, NYM, H05VV-F, NYY, NAYY, NHXMH, N2XH, N2XH FE180), including current-carrying capacity tables per cross-section (in air / in conduit / in ground), right inside the app. FEATURES • Single-phase and three-phase systems • Copper and aluminum conductor support • 1.5% / 3% / 5% voltage-drop limit check with cross-section recommendation • "Suitable cables" suggestion after each calculation, with one-tap access to cable details • Cable technical-feature tables (including halogen-free cables) • Calculation history: save, reopen, delete • Works fully offline, ad-free • 9 language support PRIVACY The app does not collect any personal data. No account is required, and the values you enter never leave your device.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Voltage Drop. at none against Voltage Drop & Wire Size's 1. Voltage Drop. also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
