The answer will depend on many factors such as:

  • distance between the two points for which a voltage drop is to be calculated i.e the length of the cable run
  • wire size and material (copper, aluminum...)
  • type of insulation used in the cable
  • type of cable fixing (in the open air, along a wall, in a duct, underground, etc.)
  • expected ambient temperature at full load

How do you calculate The Percentage Voltage Drop?

The percentage voltage drop is calculated using the formula: [ \text{Percentage Voltage Drop} = \left( \frac{V_{drop}}{V_{supply}} \right) \times 100 ] where ( V_{drop} ) is the voltage drop across the load or conductor, and ( V_{supply} ) is the supply voltage. Measure the voltage at the load and subtract it from the supply voltage to find ( V_{drop} ). Then, apply the formula to express the voltage drop as a percentage of the supply voltage.

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 is the difference between voltage forward voltage and voltage drop?

Voltage is the potential difference between the source & any point in the circuit. The forward voltage is the voltage drop across the diode if the voltage at the anode is more positive than the voltage at the cathode (if you connect + to the anode). Voltage drop means, amount of voltage by which voltage across load resistor is less then the source voltage.
