What is the formula for cable cross-sectional area? For solid wire: Area = π × (Diameter / 2)². Both give you the answer in square millimetres (mm²) if you started with millimetres. However, it can be tricky as it's not possible to directly measure the CSA of a wire or cable. The resulting diameter is important if a hole of the required size is to be drilled for the cable. Comparison Table of Cable Cross Sectional Area Abstract: The cross-sectional area of a cable is an important factor to consider when designing and installing electrical systems.
