Best Answer

I am an electrician at an aggregate company. We run 600V 3phase motors on our conveyor belts. When each conveyor feeds on to the next, the furthest conveyors often see voltage drop at the motor. We can usually fix the issue by upgrading the size of the cable to a larger than necessary guage.

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 application of kirchoffs voltage law?

Kirchoff's Voltage Law: The sum of the voltage drops across all elements in a series circuit add up to zero. If you know the voltage drops across all but one element, and you know the voltage rise across the source, then you can easily calculate the remaining drop.


Why drop voltage in xlpe cable is more than PVC cable?

The voltage drop in a wire has nothing to do with the insulation. Voltage drop has to do with the cross sectional area of the wire.


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.
