If you have doubts about how to calculate the section of a cable, or you are looking for a cable section table according to power, you are in luck. We have found these specific tables for 12V, 24V and 48V that will solve any doubts 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 standardised cable cross-sections.
The cell that matches the row and the column corresponds to the maximum distance in metres recommended for that cable and current.
IMPORTANTRemember that the table cable cross section according to power is a recommended table of minimums. The ideal is to use the cable section according to the maximum power allowed by the device you want to install, consult its technical data sheet to check the maximum section and do not skimp on copper. If you have any doubts about how to use these tables, we have made a video explaining how easy it is; Video how to calculate the cross section of a cable
Each cell indicates the maximum distance in metres of a cable according to the amperes at 12V.
Each cell indicates the maximum distance in metres of a cable according to the amperes at 24V.
Each cell indicates the maximum distance in metres of a cable according to the amperes at 48V.
We hope this information has been helpful for your project.

Why switch to a lithium battery in your campervan? Replacing a lead-acid battery with a lithium battery is a game-changer for a campervan. The chemistry of LiFePO4 lithium batteries offers more usable energy, lower weight, faster charging, better voltage stability and a longer service life
The Pytes V5 and the Pylontech US5000 are the two most frequently compared 48V LiFePO4 lithium batteries on the Spanish market in 2026. They have been competing for the same customers for months: installers or private individuals looking for domestic solar storage integrated with a Victron system or similar. This comparison is based on real technical data and
The solar charge controller is the component I most frequently see being incorrectly sized in installations by customers who have bought parts separately. Choosing the wrong MPPT controller means losing solar output, damaging the battery or spending more than necessary. In this guide, I explain how to calculate exactly which solar charge controller you need. The difference between
