If the voltage is supplying any current through the cable, i.e. if there is

any 'load' at the end, then the voltage will drop through the cable.

What is the voltage drop for 16 mm Cable over 100 meters?

The voltage drop depends on the current through the cable.For DC current in cable of 16 mm diameter, at 68° F, the voltage drop is(0.00857) x (current, Amperes) volts.

There is voltage drop over any sysetm that does not have infinitely low resistance, but with reasonable cable size there would be very little drop over 200 metres. The number of phases makes little difference.

How do you fix a b809d generator with under voltage problems?

AC card have over/under voltage adjustment for fault. If voltage drop to that range it will trip the fault. Also the unit have voltage adjustment in the bottom right. Voltage coming out of the cable vs voltage coming out Underwood can be different.

How do you compute voltage drop and cable size over distance in the UK?

If you are referring to residential wiring, then refer to the appropriate tables in BS 7671:2008 Requirements for Electrical Installations (the IEE Wiring Regulations). It's too complicated to be answered in this forum and requires prerequesite knowledge you may not have.


What gage wire for 240 volt 50 amp 100 feet?

It depends on the voltage being used. That is because the size of the cable is determined by its resistance, and to calculate the allowable resistance you need to know the voltage drop. Lower resistance means a thicker cable. Normally the allowable voltage drop is a percentage of the supply voltage, 5% for example. On a 120 v system this would allow a 6 v drop while on a 240 v system the voltage drop could be 12 v. So for a given load current, the cable for a 120 v system would need half the resistance and double the cross-section area than a cable for 240 v. But for a given amount of power, the current on the 240 v system would be halved, so the cable resistance could be four times higher and its cross-section one quarter of that needed for 120 v. That is why higher voltages are used to transmit power over long distances.


Why is voltage split over a series circuit?

Voltage drop due to the resistance present in the series circuit causes voltage split over a series circuit.


What will be the voltage drop across two core cable whose length is 1500m and voltage is 24v DC and load is 2 watts?

Unanswerable. You need to specify the core size and material. Using two 10 AWG wires with a diameter of 2.6 mm each, the voltage drop over 1500 metres would be less than 1 volt.
