IMPORTANT NOTICE: THIS CALCULATOR IS NOT A GENERAL PURPOSE WIRE GUAGE CALCULATOR.

IT IS INTENDED SOLELY FOR FAA REGISTERED AIRCRAFT WIRING, LIMITED TO THE FOLLOWING APPROVED VOLTAGES: 14VDC, 28VDC, 115VAC, AND 200VAC.

This application assists the aircraft airframe and powerplant (A&P) mechanic in determining the correct American Wire Gauge (AWG) wire size for given conditions, following the procedures outlined in FAA Publication AC 43-13 1B (Acceptable Methods, Techniques, and Practices - Aircraft Inspection and Repair), Chapter 11.

Conditions include circuit length, current, voltage, wire temperature (known or estimated), and derating factors for altitude and wire bundle size/loading percentage.

The application also includes utilities to help the aircraft mechanic determine various parameters without active use of AC 43-13 (when on-site conditions make it impractical), referencing specific figures:

  • Maximum Wire Length (standard temperature).
    • Input parameters: circuit voltage, current, current flow, AWG
    • Output: L1
    • Reference: AC 43-13 1B, Fig 11-2/3
  • Maximum Current (standard temperature).
    • Input parameters: circuit voltage, current flow, wire length, AWG
    • Output: Max Current
    • Reference: AC 43-13 1B, Fig 11-2/3
  • Altitude Deration Factor.
    • Input parameter: Max Altitude
    • Output: Altitude Deration Factor
    • Reference: AC 43-13 1B, Fig 11-6
  • Bundle Deration Factor.
    • Input parameters: Wire Count, Loading Percentage
    • Output: Bundle Deration Factor
    • Reference: AC 43-13 1B, Fig 11-5
  • IMAX (elevated temperature).
    • Input parameters: ambient temperature, conductor temp rating, AWG
    • Output: IMAX
    • Reference: AC 43-13 1B, Fig 11-4a/b

"Bundle Builder" Feature (NEW!)

  • Input parameters: number of wires, AWG sizes, wire currents, max altitude, ambient temp, wire rating, loading factor
  • Output: Bundle IMAX (derated for bundle & altitude) with table for IMAX per wire
  • Reference: AC 43-13 1B, Fig 11-4a/b

If data extrapolation is necessary due to exceeding chart limits in input/output parameters, appropriate warnings ("** extrapolated data") are displayed.
