線路電阻與壓降會影響 power path、LED、馬達、感測器與低壓大電流設計。這個工具依線長、線寬、銅厚、電流與銅溫估算 resistance、voltage drop 與 power loss。
Trace resistance and voltage drop matter for power paths, LEDs, motors, sensors and low-voltage high-current circuits. This calculator estimates resistance, voltage drop and power loss from conductor geometry.
Trace resistance, voltage drop and power loss
公式: R = rho x L / A; Vdrop = I x R; P = I x Vdrop = I^2 x R
R: conductor resistance.
rho: copper resistivity adjusted for temperature.
L: trace length.
A: cross-sectional area from trace width and copper thickness.
Vdrop: voltage drop along the trace.
P: power dissipated as heat in the conductor.
公式依據
Formula basis: conductor resistance from resistivity, length and cross-sectional area, combined with Ohm's law.
Why is this different from trace current capacity?
Current capacity estimates temperature rise. Resistance calculation estimates electrical loss and voltage drop. Both should be checked for power conductors.
Does plating copper reduce resistance?
Yes. Finished copper thickness increases cross-sectional area and reduces resistance, so use finished copper thickness when available.
