      From: 37bf9221f022c0ae9539c8922b39c88c@example.com              thank you Tony, there is little to be found about load center lengths.       mean-current distance may have produced some results. the suggested 5% max in       the NEC is interpreted in different ways from county AHJ to county AHJ but       would be the suggested        acceptable voltage drop from the feeder to the end of a branch circuit. from       the final over-current device (branch circuit) to the end of the circuit, it       is 3%. i question the load center length method as you do. for multiple loads       on branch circuits, i        was taught to find the drop between the source and load 1, the drop between       load 1 & 2, the drop between load 2 & 3, then add them together for the total       voltage drop. i had never heard of load center length until recently and this       thread was all i found        besides the nccer curriculum for level 3 electricity where i finally saw an       example of the math.as you said, i question if the mean current-distance is       accurate for a trouble free installation when multiple loads are included              --       For full context, visit https://www.polytechforum.com/electrical       center-load-voltage-drop-calculation-8964-.htm              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
