It is standard Australian practice to multiply your result by 1.5x to future-proof the system and account for surges. 2. Understanding Voltage Drop
| Current (Amps) | Cable Size ($\textmm^2$) | Max Length (Round Trip) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | (LEDs/Phone) | 2.0 $\textmm^2$ (4mm Auto) | ~12 metres | | 10A (Water Pump) | 4.0 $\textmm^2$ (6mm Auto) | ~8 metres | | 20A (Fridge/Inverter) | 6.0 $\textmm^2$ | ~5 metres | | 30A (High Power) | 10.0 $\textmm^2$ | ~4 metres |
Example: 15A × 6m × 0.074 = 6.66 → 10 mm²
If you tell me your , one‑way distance (m) , and allowed drop (3% or 5%) , I can give you the exact Australian cable size.
