Parameters
Specifies whether to consider the length of the wire
run in calculation of the voltage drop.
Run distance
When Run distance is on, sets the distance.
When Run distance is on, sets the distance units.
Units
When Run distance is on, sets the type of conduit or
raceway which affects the voltage drop calculation. The
Via
available types are extracted from the electrical stand-
ards database file.
When Run distance is on, sets the power factor value
used to calculate the voltage drop.
Power factor
Specifies whether to apply a maximum percent voltage
drop limit on what size wires are appropriate.
Maximum % voltage drop
When Maximum voltage drop is on, sets the acceptable
maximum percentage of voltage drop along the wire
length.
Paralleled wires
Specifies whether to include paralleled wire options in
the display. When on, the display includes entries
Include paralleled wire op-
tions
consisting of two or more smaller size conductors per
phase to meet the ampacity requirement of the load.
When Include paralleled wire options is on, sets the
maximum conductors per phase to use in the calcula-
tion and display.
Maximum paralleled wire
count
When Include paralleled wire options is on, sets the
minimum wire size to use for paralleled conductor
calculations.
Minimum paralleled wire size
Cost per kwh
Sets the cost per kilowatt hour used in the wire loss calculations.
