How do you calculate mm2 wire size?
FAQ
- Multiply the resistivity (Ω•m) of the conductor material by the peak motor current (A), the number 1.25, and the total length of the cable (m).
- Divide the result by the voltage drop from the power source to the motor.
- Multiply by 1,000,000 to get the result in mm2.
What does 2.5 mm2 mean?
The area, or cross sectional area of this circle is 1.5 square mm or 2.5 square mm. 2.5mm cable means a cross sectional area of 2.5mm of the live or neutral wire. This cross sectional area. or in more simple terms the area of the exposed face of the wire, does not include the insulation around it.

What does 2.5 mm cable mean?
2.5mm cable means a cross sectional area of 2.5mm of the live or neutral wire. This cross sectional area. or in more simple terms the area of the exposed face of the wire, does not include the insulation around it. It is purely the area of the copper wire.
What is difference between 1.5 mm and 2.5 mm wire?
You will find twin core and earth cabling used all over your home in a variety of sizes. 2.5mm is commonly used for behind sockets, while 1-1.5mm is most often used for lights (depending on how many lights you have in a circuit).

How do I know if my cable is 2.5 mm?
Cable Selection
And cables for sockets on a ring or radial main are normally a 2.5mm cable. This measurement is the cross-sectional area of the individual wires within the cable – the actual area of the exposed face of the wire. The size of the cable should be printed on the sheath.
