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.


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 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.


What causes voltage drop in a circuit and how can it be minimized?

Voltage drop in a circuit is caused by the resistance in the wires and components, leading to a decrease in voltage as current flows through. To minimize voltage drop, use thicker wires with lower resistance, reduce the length of the wires, and use high-quality components. Additionally, ensure proper connections and avoid overloading the circuit.


What will the voltage drop on a 1.5 mm cable run 1.5 kilometres be?

The voltage drop on a 1.5 mm cable run of 1.5 kilometers will depend on factors such as the current flowing through the cable, the material of the cable, and the temperature. Typically, to calculate voltage drop, you can use the formula: Voltage drop = (2 x current x length x resistance) / cross-sectional area.


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.


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

The higher voltage drop in XLPE cables compared to PVC cables is due to the different electrical properties of the materials. XLPE has a lower dielectric constant and higher resistivity than PVC, leading to a higher internal resistance and therefore higher voltage drop. Additionally, XLPE cables usually have a higher operating temperature, which can also contribute to increased 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


Is there a rule to distance of cable from a power source to low voltage lighting without voltage drop and do you have to put transformers or outlets in the yard?

Voltage drop depends on the size & length of the wire and the wattage of the bulbs. If they make an LED replacement bulb , you would hardly notice the voltage drop.


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.
