Automotive Cable Size Calculations | New Training Module

Have you ever wondered why a specific cable size is chosen by manufacturers, or what to consider when fitting aftermarket accessories?

While selecting automotive cable size for vehicle circuits may initially seem simple, there are some crucial considerations that shouldn’t be overlooked. 

In the latest addition to our training course on Wiring Harness Fundamentals, we delve into the reasons behind the selection of one cable over another, focusing on the principles of voltage drop and its impact on automotive applications.

The topics covered in this training module include:

• The essential factors influencing voltage drop
• The foundational principles governing cable choice
• Voltage drop potential calculation
• A fundamental understanding of how voltage drop impacts circuit performance

This module will be the latest addition to our growing library of over 350 technical training videos, covering the following key areas:
