Electric Wire - Calculating Cross-Section Areas
Calculate single and bunched electric wire cross-section area and diameter.
Cross-Section Area of Single Wire
The cross-section area of a round single wire can be calculated as:
A = D² π / 4 = 0.7854 D²
where:
- A = cross-section area (mm²)
- D = diameter (mm)
Cross-Section Area of Bunched Wire
The cross-section area of bunched wires can be calculated as:
A = n d² π / 4 = 0.7854 n d²
where:
- n = number of wires
- d = single wire diameter (mm)
Diameter of a Single Wire Cross-Section Area
The diameter of a single wire cross-section area can be calculated as:
D = (A × 4 / π)^(1/2) = (1.2732 A)^(1/2)
where:
- A = cross-section area (mm²)
- D = diameter (mm)
