This tool helps you pick the right cable size and protection device for a motor driven through a VFD. You enter the motor power, voltage, distance and conductor type, and the calculator estimates the running current, applies derating, checks voltage drop and suggests a suitable cable size. It also gives an approximate breaker and fuse rating based on the load. This makes it easy to plan safe and reliable VFD installations without manual table lookup.
