Hello didi

Is this a Class or Homework Question, because those are against the CR4 Rules.

I have assumed you read the rules, and understood them, and therefore your Question is genuine.

What I did, just for you, is to use an Internet Search Engine, which is a marvellous free Software device for locating information on the Internet.

So, trying http://www.Google.com and type into the Search Box, the desired Words, in this case for you, I typed in voltage drop wiki (wiki = Wikipedia the on-line free Encyclopaedia)

The results are: Results 1 - 10 of about 220,000 for voltage drop wiki. (0.49 seconds)

You can see that an Internet Search Engine can be really fast, and resulted in the webpage: http://www.google.co.nz/search?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-GB%3Aofficial&channel=s&hl=en&q=voltage+drop+wiki&meta=&btnG=Google+Search.

On that page, at the Top, because it is the Webpage most often visited, of that approximately 220,000 webpages with those three words listed, and it shows:

Voltage drop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And if you click on that Webpage (Hyperlink as shown above, with the underlined blue text, and your Computer mouse changes a little, when you land on a hyperlink), you may then "read all about it".

There now, see all the typing I have saved myself, and you can read the answer to your Question, all ready and waiting for the happy reader = you, didi.

Please get used to using Internet Search Engines, they will save you hundreds of hours each year, of a non-renewable portion of your lifespan.

Kind Regards....

wow, that is about the best way to put it, as those precious days of youth have passed me by. Maybe one day technology will give us some renewable time but not quite yet. Don't waist it!∞

You Can calculate the resistance of load or cable .V = Current x Resistance.

Resistance can be masure by Ohm meter.

This is what's happening to the volt going down from the electric pole down to your house. Voltage-up, is when the electrical system is underground.

But seriously, I really want to understand. It looks as if you know how to use a PC and a keyboard, even though you don't know how to use a spell checker, (drope?) but that's another problem, Wouldn't it be easier to google Voltage Drop as others have suggested? this way you will:

  1. Learn something new
  2. May even understand it
  3. Will not ridicule yourself
  4. And go to school with your homework done (by you, and not by others)

So please explain why did you choose the rough road?

Wangito.

Voltage Drop in Cable Culculation

current load x cable distance x MV / A / M

1000

allowable voltage drop IEE

Single phase = 2.5% x 240vac = 6V

Three phase = 2.5% x 415vac = 10.375V

hope that helps

Re: voltage drop

I am wondering if "drop voltage" might be different than "voltage drop" (E=IxR). I might guess that drop voltage might be voltage at the low voltage side of the transformer on the utility pole where power goes to the subscriber... might be 120 v, 240 v, possibly 3 phase... but this only a WAG (wild assed guess). I am not into power distribution so don't really know.

GG! (good guess). I wanted to give GA, but if you go back to OP, he wanted to know about "drope voltage".

You have changed his question to "drop voltage".

Bottom line is we have no clue as to what he is asking and he is long gone.

Maybe he meant drop e voltage which could translate into drop voltage voltage or

drop voltage2 or drop e2... but this could get powerful (e2/R) if he R still around.

Hello Sciesis2

Perhaps he meant "drupe voltage", which could exist on the electrostatically-charged "fleshy-covered over stone-centred" fruits of some species of bushes and trees, just before a thunderstorm.

A typical drupe is at left = peach.

Kind Regards....
