VIII) VOLTAGE DROP COMPUTATIONS

Basic VD formula for 1Phase System

>> Voltage Drop (VD) = 200% x L x Rw x Itotal
Where:
L = Length of the Service Drop Aneco Feeder=30mtrs
Rw =Resistance of the Conductor wire (from PEC-1 , 2017, Table 10.1.1.8 page941)
Rw#14.00mm2 Copper= 0.51Ώ/305m
Rw#14.00mm2 Aluminum= 0.808Ώ/305m
I-total = Total Load Amps of the System From Schedule of Loads section#4
Thus Itotal= 40.5 Amps
To solve the VD of the Main Feeder Service Drop
VD(copper)= 200% x (30m) x (0.51Ώ/305m) x 40.50
4.1 volts
VOLTAGE REGULATION %= 1.00/230Volts x 100%
= 1.77 %
VD(Aluminum)= 200% x (30m) x (0.808Ώ/305m) x40.50
4.3 volts
VOLTAGE REGULATION %= 3.4/230Volts x 100%
= 1.9 %
