    Single Phase

    Wire Circular Mils = 2 x Specific Resistance x Amperes x Distance / (Voltage Drop / Source Voltage)

    Three Phase

    Wire Circular Mils = 2 x 0.866 x Specific Resistance x Amperes x Distance / (Voltage Drop / Source Voltage)

    where,

    • Specific Resistance = 11.2 for Copper Cable,
    • Specific Resistance = 17.4 for Aluminium Cable,
