NEC recommends a maximum 3% drop for branch circuits. 5 volts is well within this range. So, yes 5v drop is normally fine, unless the motor manufacturer has a more stringent requirement.

Acceptable voltage drop for 3 phase 415 volt motor?

The voltage drop should not exceed 3% on a feeder or branch circuit.


What is the acceptable percentage of voltage acceptable variance that most appliances will accept?

When doing voltage drop calculations the voltage to the connected devices should not drop below 3 % of the supplied voltage. <<>> "Most" appliances? that a tough one there is no standard. A few percent is no trouble, different appliances have different tolerances: no generalizations are possible.


Voltage drop not exceeding what percent is allowed for feeders?

A voltage drop of no more than 3% is typically allowed for feeder circuits in residential and commercial installations. This helps ensure that the voltage level at the load remains within an acceptable range for proper equipment operation.


What is volts drop?

What is voltage drop calculation?

Voltage drop calculation is a method used to determine how much the voltage decreases in an electrical circuit due to the resistance of the wires and components. It helps in ensuring that the voltage at the intended load is within the acceptable range for proper operation. This calculation is important to ensure that the voltage supplied to the load is sufficient for it to function correctly.


What is a pratctical application of voltage drop?

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 cause the voltage drop in shunt generator when its loaded?

because the voltage likes to 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.


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.
