Electrical panel size calculator
Use our electrical panel size calculator to calculate accurate size and measurement values instantly.
Calculator
Estimate feeder current from total load and voltage, then apply 125% sizing factor.
Formula: Current = P/V (single phase) or P/(sqrt(3)V) (3-phase); panel size approx = 1.25 x current
What each field means
- Total Load (kW): Enter a valid value for this field.
- Voltage (V): Enter a valid value for this field.
- System Phase: Enter a valid value for this field.
