Diameter mm2 converter

The distance your wire needs to go can impact the gauge size you need. The longer the wire, the more voltage you can lose through resistance and heat. One way to counteract voltage drop is by increasing the wire gauge, which increases your amperage capacity, allowing you to pump more amperage through and ultimately, give you enough electricity for the intended application.
