Best Answer

cable length multiply with the design current and multiply again by mV/A/m (check on site guide) then devide it by 1000. then u will get the volt drops. BY; MAMERGA

How can you improve volt-drop?

A: Decreasing the current and/or the resistance


What is lost volt according to science?

In science, lost volt typically refers to the voltage drop that occurs in a circuit due to resistance. This voltage drop represents the energy lost as heat when current flows through a component with resistance. It is calculated using Ohm's Law, V = I * R, where V is the voltage drop, I is the current, and R is the resistance.


How do you calulate the voltagedrop in an electrical circuit of the current draw was 65 amps and the circuit was 750 feet long with No. 6 TW conduct?

Look up in wire tables the resistance per ft for #6 wire (in ohms). Multiply by the total length of wire, 1500 ft because the current has to go through both wires. The answer is the total resistance of the cable. Then multiply by the current, 65 amps, and that's the volt-drop. In this example the total resistance is 0.59 ohms and the volt drop is 38.5 v. This cable can carry 65 amps but at this length the volt drop may be excessive and that is a reason for using a thicker conductor.


A resistor Connected to a 9 Volt supply dissipates 3 watts calculate the value of the resistance?

about 27ohms


What is the required wire size for a 230 feet run 480 volt 100 amp?

Depends on length. The more length, the more resistance.


What gives the biggest resistance 3 volt bulb or 6 volt bulb?

3 volt bulb gives the biggest resistance


How do you calculate what gauge wire you need to use over very long distance runs like 500 ft on 3 conductor solid copper wire at 15 amps and 120V formula or way to calculate for various lengths amps?

Answer for UK, Europe and countries running a 50 Hz supply service.You first calculate how much volt-drop can be allowed, say it's 6 volts on a 120 v supply, then divide that by the current, and it tells you how much resistance is allowed in the cable. Then look up a wire table that gives that amount of resistance for the length of wire you have. NB you have to double the length of wire because the current goes along one wire and back along the other.For example for a 6 volt drop with 15 amps your allowed resistance is 0.4 ohms If the distance is 500 feet you need wire that gives 0.4 ohms per 1000 ft. In that case the AWG wire table says that the wire needed is 6 AWG.Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.In North America the maximum voltage drop allowed is 3%. On 120 volts this would be 3.6 volts.A #3 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 15 amps for 500 feet on a 120 volt system.


A 15 volt battery is connected to 4 lights of the same resistance in a series circuit How many volts of electricity run across each light?

There is a 3.75 Volt drop across each bulb.


What is the total resistance of a parallel circuit with branch voltages of 440 volt and 440 volt and branch currents of 4 amp and 16 amp?

resistance = volt / current . 440 volt across a parallel circuit means the same 440 volt across both resistance s. hence resistance r = volt / current . 440 / 20 amp = 27.5 ohms total resistance


Calculate the resistance in a circuit in which a 9 volt batteriyproduces 3 ampheres?

V=IR so, R=V/I or resistance = Voltage / Amps Therefore, the resistance (R) = 9 volts / 3 Amps answer: 3 Ohms


What is the electrical resistance offered by a current-carrying element that produces a drop of one volt when a current of one ampere is flowing through it?

One ohm.
