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.


What is the cable size for a 3KW motor 350 meter run for cable 240v?

For a 3KW motor with a 350-meter run and 240V supply voltage, you would typically need a cable size of around 16mm² for proper voltage drop considerations and to prevent overheating. It's recommended to consult with a qualified electrician or use a voltage drop calculator to determine the exact cable size needed for your specific installation.


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 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.


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.


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.


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
