So berechnen Sie Cable Voltage Drop2

learn.whatIsHeading

Calculates voltage loss in electrical cables due to resistance. High losses reduce efficiency and can prevent motor starting.

Formel

Formula: voltage drop = (2 × length × current × resistance) ÷ 1000

Schritt-für-Schritt-Anleitung

  1. 1Current in amperes and cable length
  2. 2Wire gauge (affects resistance)
  3. 3Formula: voltage drop = (2 × length × current × resistance) ÷ 1000
  4. 4Typical target <3% for power, <5% for control
  5. 5Higher gauge wire reduces drop exponentially

Gelöste Beispiele

Eingabe
100A, 50ft, 10 AWG
Ergebnis
3.2V drop

Häufige Fehler vermeiden

  • Using undersized wire to save cost
  • Not accounting for temperature derating

Häufig gestellte Fragen

Why does voltage drop matter?

Reduces equipment voltage, increases losses, causes motors to start slowly, reduces efficiency.

How much does proper wire size cost vs. undersized?

Proper size costs 10-20% more initially but saves 5-10% energy costs over life.
