    Uploaded by

    ABELWALID
    This document provides a table of "F" values that can be used to calculate voltage drop for different sized copper conductors operating at various power factors and temperatures. The "F" value accounts for resistance of the conductor and can be used with formulas to determine voltage drop percentage or maximum circuit length given specific amperage, voltage, and desired voltage drop. Notes provide additional guidance on applicability and how to adjust the "F" values for different circuit configurations.

    5.

    "F" Values are reasonably accurate up to a conductor temperature of 75C and for multi-conductor cables.
    Refer to NEC for voltage drop requirements.
    For 90C, 3 phase, line-to-Iine voltage drop, multiply "F" value by 1.102.
    For single phase line-to-line voltage drop, multiply "F" value by 1.155.
    For single or 3 phase line-to-neutral voltage drop, multiply "F" value by 0.577.

    Applicable Formulas:
    1.

    Voltage Drop

    "F" x Amp x Run Distance


    Line Voltage

    2. Run Distance =

    0/0 Voltage Drop x Line Voltage


    "F" x Amp

    3. "F" Factor =

    0/0 Voltage Drop x Line Voltage


    Run Distance x Amp
