Transformer Primary Conductor Size

Computes the minimum conductor size using: A = I / J, where I is the winding current and J is the allowable current density.

Inputs

Winding current in amps

Allowable current density in amps per square millimetre — typical copper transformer winding: 2–4 A/mm²

Results

Current density must be greater than zero
Conductor Sizemm²Required conductor cross-sectional area in square millimetres
