Voltage Drop Solutions

The

ElectriCalc Pro

will calculate

maximum lengths, minimum wire sizes
or actual voltage drops given the other
two values. Voltage drop solutions are
based on the DC resistance values
found in NEC Chapter 9, Table 8.

NOTE: Voltage drop solutions may vary
slightly from actual AC circuit values as
the calculator does not incorporate
factors such as inductive reactance,
skin effect, raceway material, etc.

v

Percent Voltage Drop

Used to enter or calculate voltage drop.
The default voltage drop is 3%. If wire size
or wire length values are not available,
nonE” will display since the voltage drop
cannot be found.

First Press

Enters a maximum allowable voltage
drop percentage (Displays: V DROP
%
) or calculates actual Voltage drop
(Displays: V DROP).

Second Press

Calculates actual percent Voltage drop.
Displays: V DROP %

l

Length

Enters or calculates the length of a run
for Voltage drop calculation.
Displays: FEET or MET

NOTE: Units of length can be set to
Feet or Meters by use of the Prefer-
ence function
