![ermined by two factors
1. Current drawn by the unit when operating (A).
2. The distance the current to be run (L).
Example 3:
A unit is to have a current draw of 24 amps and located 30 feet from the circuit-breaker. Using a #10 AWG copper
wire, what is the amount of voltage drop the wire will have.
KXL
R=
CM
R:
10.4 × 60
10380
R = 0.06
The amount of voltage dropped by the wire can be found using Ohm's LAW
E=IxR
E = 24 x 0.060
E = 1.44 volts
