Voltage rise calculator

Check voltage rise across your inverter connection.

AS/NZS 3008 · 2017
Calculation scope & engineering review

Uses documented AS/NZS 3008.1.1:2017 and AS/NZS 3008.1.1:2025 source data for supported calculations. Not independently verified by a licensed electrical engineer. Check results against the current published standards before use. New Zealand mode uses the 2017 Australian rating tables with New Zealand ambient conditions. Read assumptions and limitations.

01

Inverter output

Supply arrangement and inverter rating

Standard

Inverter output

kW calculations use the specified load power factor. A and kVA calculations use worst-case cable impedance for voltage rise.

02

Design limit

Maximum allowable voltage rise

Voltage rise limit

Default 2% per AS/NZS 4777.1-2024 — adjust if your DNSP specifies a different limit.

When enabled, mark the consumer cable mains segment in the route below. Its rise remains in the physical total but is excluded from the displayed design-limit assessment. Verify the installed control and your network service provider's requirements before applying this treatment.

03

Cable route

Add 2–5 segments, from inverter to point of supply
