Yes. When the voltage drops and the power requirement (watts) stays the same, the amperage goes up.

This is a voltage drop question. A voltage at 30 amps needs to be stated to answer the question.


What is the effect of diode voltage drop as the output voltage?

The effect of diode voltage drop as the output voltage is that the input voltage will not be totally transferred to the output because power loss in the diode . The output voltage will then be given by: vout=(vin)-(the diode voltage drop).


What effect does it have on the voltage drop in an electrical cable if the resistance of the cable is decreased?

It will decrease the voltage drop.


How do you drop amps across a circuit without changing the voltage?

Increase resistance.


What gauge wire is needed for 200 feet with 110 volts and 50 amps?

6 AWG will handle 50 amps with a voltage drop of about 4 volts. If you go to 4 AWG and limit to 50 amps your voltage drop will be 2.5 volts.


How far can you run 10 AWG with 30 amps?

This is a voltage drop question. The circuit's voltage must be stated to answer this question.

How many amps will 14 gauge wire carry at 200ft?

A #14 copper wire with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 15 amps. To answer your question for voltage drop at 200 feet a voltage needs to be stated. Assuming the voltage of 120 is used to maintain 15 amps at the distance of 200 feet a #6 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to less that 3 percent. Assuming the voltage of 240 is used to maintain 15 amps at the distance of 200 feet a #10 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to less that 3 percent.


Can you put a transformer on a 32 amp generate to drop the amps to 16 amps?

The purpose of a transformer is to transform one voltage to another voltage. This can be in the configuration of stepping up the voltage or stepping down the voltage . The load is what establishes what the current from the transformer is going to be.
