Voltage Drop Calculator

Low voltage lighting allows for small fixtures, efficient lamping, and safe installation and adjustment. The Voltage Drop Calculator will determine the correct THHN wire sizes for recommended 3% or less drop in voltage for each circuit based on the specified wattage. Lengths are the distance from the remote magnetic transformer to that system power feed connector, or power supply.
