Assume that a building manager instructed you to install a water heater. The specs on the water heater nameplate reveals the following 240V, 2PH, 60HZ, 5.7KW. The manager insisted for the installation to be done with 10 AWG copper THWN-2 conductor, the length of run is 1200 FT away from the service panel. Calculate the voltage after the installation.
