Purpose

Work out the voltage drop along a cable run and check it against the allowed limit.

Inputs required

Current, cable size and material, run length, voltage and power factor.

Standards followed

IEC 60364-5-52 and IS 732 voltage drop limits.

Engineering reference & methodology

What you get

Voltage drop in volts and percent, and a pass or fail against the limit.

Results are preliminary design guidance. Verify every value against the edition of each standard adopted by your project or authority having jurisdiction, and against manufacturer performance data, before using it in design or procurement.
