A single phase power circuit supplying an item of equiptment, having a full load current of 25A, is to be checked to confirm voltage drop compliance , the circuit is to be installed using 6.00mm2 copper conductors, with a circuit length of 35m.

a) Calculate the maximum permissible voltage drop for this circuit.
b) The line and neutral combined resistance for the circuit is 0.26ohms , determine wheather the circuit meets the voltage drop requirements if the voltage drop to the local distribution board is 4.5v.

c) State one other method which could be used to confirm voltage drop.




Feedback please.
 
If this is a Q from college shouldn't you have some idea on the procedure or a idea of where to start. You should be asking your lecturer to explain the steps rather than on a forum since you need the regs to show you so you fully understand it.
