What is voltage drop when utilized with cable runs?
A: ANY CABLE will have a definite impedance and if current flow there is going to be a definite voltage drop because of it
Is it okay to use thicker cable to avoid voltage drop?
It is mandatory to use a larger wire size to overcome voltage drop at the load.
What are the advantages of increasing the voltage in a circuit?
For appliances that need a lot of power, the advantage of a higher voltage is that less current is needed, because power = voltage x current. That means that the cable doesn't need to be so thick. It also means that for a given percentage of voltage drop in the cable, the allowable volt-drop in the cable is higher when the supply voltage is higher. This also allows the use of a thinner cable especially when the cable is 100 ft long or more.
How do you calculate cable size for 50 hp?
just apply the formula :-p=v*i*cos(angle);now you have the power rating,load so in turn power factor so you can easily calculate the value of current.with the help of current you can chose the cable available in the market either the aluminum or copper wiresatendra.svnit@gmail.com
What is the specific voltage drop in a 95MM three core armoured cable?
Need to know the wire size of the core conductors.
You want to fit a heater in a outhouse from a domestic 240v supply the cable has a resestance of 1.5 ohms and the heater has a resistance of 28.5 ohms what is the voltage drop in the cable?
31.5
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.
Will voltage drop over cable distance?
If the voltage is supplying any current through the cable, i.e. if there is any 'load' at the end, then the voltage will drop through the cable.
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.
How do you find cross sectional area of cable when you have the lent current and the voltage drop?
cross sectional area of cable * voltage drop
What is voltage drop when utilized with cable runs?
A: ANY CABLE will have a definite impedance and if current flow there is going to be a definite voltage drop because of it
What is the voltage drop for 16 mm Cable over 100 meters?
The voltage drop depends on the current through the cable.For DC current in cable of 16 mm diameter, at 68° F, the voltage drop is(0.00857) x (current, Amperes) volts.
Is it okay to use thicker cable to avoid voltage drop?
It is mandatory to use a larger wire size to overcome voltage drop at the load.
What wire size will carry 50 amps 200 ft 220 voltage?
Actual voltage would be 240V. 4 AWG copper is capable of carrying 50A. At 200 ft, with a 50A load, voltage drop would be about 6V, which is within the acceptable 3% voltage drop for a branch circuit.
How do you calculate the cable size for a run of 30 meters?
to calculate the cable size of a run of 30 meters long you first will have to know the current of the appliance use the voltage drop formula V d = (mVxIxL)/1000 once the voltage drop is less than 2.5% of the nominal voltage, the cable should be upsize.
Whats the permissible voltage drop in a 240V system?
You shouldn't really have much voltage "drop". If you do, it usually means that there is a poor connection somewhere along your service line or inside wiring. Any significant amount of voltage drop can mean that you are at risk of a fire. On the other hand, line voltage into a house may not actually be 240 VAC. Measure the ACTUAL voltage with everything turned off, then see where it goes when you start turning things back on. The difference between the supplied voltage and the load voltage is the voltage "drop".
How do you calculate voltage drop in a parallel circuit?
The formula for a simple DC voltage drop across a cable is:VDrop = Vmeasured at the input of cable - Vmeasured at the output of cableThis formula may seem simplistic however keep in mind that the sensitivity, accuracy and resolution of measuring instrument instrument is what is really important.If you know the DC current flowing through the cable and the impedance of the cable then you can use Ohm's law. Vdrop = I R where Vdrop is the voltage drop across the cable in volts I is the current flowing through the cable in amperes R is the resistance of the cable in ohms.ADDITIONALCalculation of the voltage drop is given by the formula belowVoltage Drop (Volt) = [(mV/Am)/1000] * I * lWhere mV/Am = millivolt drop per meter per ampere of the cable(this information is given in the table based on IEE Wiring Regulation)I = Current in the cable (in Ampere)l = Distance of cable (in Metre)See related links below
