How to calculate the cross section of a cable?
If you have doubts about how to calculate the section of a cable, you are in luck. We have found these specific tables for 12V, 24V and 48V that will solve any doubt you may have about how to calculate the section of a cable for your camper or caravan electrical installation.
In the following cable cross-section calculation tables you will find the column on the left (maximum amperes to be passed) and at the top of the table you will find the standard cable cross-sections.
The cell matching the row and column corresponds to the maximum distance in meters recommended for that cable.
IMPORTANTRemember that it is a recommended minimum table. The ideal is to use the maximum section allowed by the device you want to install, consult its data sheet to check the maximum section and do not skimp on copper.
