Notes:
1. These values are based on the following constant: UL-type RHH Wires with class B stranding, in craddled configuration. Wire conductivities are 100 percent
IACS copper and 61 percent IACS aluminum, and aluminum conduit is 45 percent IACS. Capacitive reactance is ignored, since it is negligible at these voltages.
These resitance values are valid only at 75 oC and for the parameters as given, but are representative fpr 600-volt wire types operating at 60Hz.
2. Effective Z is defined as Rcosθ + Xsinθ, where θ is the power factor angle of the circuit, Multiplying current by effective impedance gives a good approximation
for line-to-neutral voltage drop. Effective impedance values shown in this table are valid only at 0.85 power factor.
For another circuit power factor (PF), Effective impedance (Ze) can be calculated from R and XL values given in this table as follows: Ze = R x pf + XL sin(arccos (pf)
