Expand description

Conductor current capacity calculator.

Supports:

  • IPC-2221A (legacy empirical formula)
  • IPC-2152 (with modifier charts — table data needed)

Also computes: DC resistance, voltage drop, power dissipation, skin depth, current density.

§TODO

  • IPC-2152 table data for more accurate results
  • Solve-for-width mode (given target current, find required width)
  • Temperature-adjusted resistivity
  • AC resistance model (skin effect + proximity)

Structs§
