	Dear All, Does any one know the formula for voltage drop within cable. I knew some formulas by IEEE, however I need the same based on IEC, VDE standards. If you can suggest IEC std name to be refered, this would be a great healp.

	British Standard 7671 knows all this. __________________ "Did you get my e-mail?" - "The biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place" - George Bernard Shaw, 1856

	As far I as know volt drop calculations are universal. It doesn't matter what regulations you use the resistance of a piece of copper doesn't change. __________________ The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.

	What Mr. Tonys says is correct. In Saudi Arabia, all most all cable manufactures are using IEC 502 standard. but when percentage of voltage drop comes their formula is same as given in IEEE. So, most practical and complete requirements of the load and cables %V drop formula is given as bellows: __________________ B.E, M.I.E, M.S

	Dear Mushtaq, Thanks for your reply, could you please look following formula. I did the calculation as way suggetsted by you. I think this is the best way. Could you please explain in which standard I will get following formula for allowable cable length.

	Dear Anonymous Post#1 Please define each and every item used in the formula given by you so that I can check and let you know the thing you want. I am waiting for your reply Thank you __________________ B.E, M.I.E, M.S
