Automotive Cable

It is important to use the correct cable thickness in a system. The correct cable can only be selected once you know the currents in a system. 

The Victron Toolkit app helps you calculate cable size and voltage drop. The app is free of charge and can be downloaded here: https://www.victronenergy.com/support-and-downloads/software#victron-toolkit-app
