Cara Menghitung Cable Voltage Drop2
learn.whatIsHeading
Calculates voltage loss in electrical cables due to resistance. High losses reduce efficiency and can prevent motor starting.
Rumus
Formula: voltage drop = (2 × length × current × resistance) ÷ 1000
Panduan Langkah demi Langkah
- 1Current in amperes and cable length
- 2Wire gauge (affects resistance)
- 3Formula: voltage drop = (2 × length × current × resistance) ÷ 1000
- 4Typical target <3% for power, <5% for control
- 5Higher gauge wire reduces drop exponentially
Contoh Terpecahkan
Masukan
100A, 50ft, 10 AWG
Hasil
3.2V drop
Kesalahan Umum yang Harus Dihindari
- ✕Using undersized wire to save cost
- ✕Not accounting for temperature derating
Pertanyaan yang sering diajukan
Why does voltage drop matter?
Reduces equipment voltage, increases losses, causes motors to start slowly, reduces efficiency.
How much does proper wire size cost vs. undersized?
Proper size costs 10-20% more initially but saves 5-10% energy costs over life.
