Як розрахувати Cable Voltage Drop2
Що таке Cable Voltage Drop2?
Calculates voltage loss in electrical cables due to resistance. High losses reduce efficiency and can prevent motor starting.
Формула
Formula: voltage drop = (2 × length × current × resistance) ÷ 1000
Покрокова інструкція
- 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

Часті запитання
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.
