NEC Voltage Drop Calculator
NEC voltage drop searches usually need a design-screen calculation before the code-compliance checks. The working calculator reports drop, load-end voltage and the first listed conductor size that clears the target.

Calculator path
Single-phase shortcut
VD = 2 * K * I * L / CM
Three-phase shortcut
VD = sqrt(3) * K * I * L / CM
Scope caution
Voltage drop recommendations are design guidance, not a full conductor-sizing approval. Final work still needs the adopted code, equipment instructions and local amendments.
