Best Answer

There isn't a specific standard length for the unprotected length of a tap conductor in relation to the current carrying capacity of a main conductor. The length of the tap conductor is typically determined by factors such as voltage drop and local electrical codes. It is recommended to consult the National Electrical Code (NEC) or an electrical professional for specific guidance on tap conductor lengths.
