5. Voltage drop should be considered when determining the wire size.
Voltage drop can be calculated using the following equation:
Phase-to-phase voltage drop (V)
= × wire resistance (Ω/km) × wiring distance (m) × current
(A) × 10
-3
Select a wire size so that voltage drop will be less than 2% of the
normal rated voltage. Increase the wire size according to the length
of the cable if there is a possibility that the voltage may drop.
