    Cable resistance and voltage drop

    Let me have a go at this one, although I’m a little confused by the 12kW load and specified with a load current of 40A, since as U0=230V, I would have thought Ib would be 52A, not 40A ? Using Ib=40A (Table 4D2B) 10mm2 Two core single phase AC voltage drop = 4.4mV/A/m Voltage Drop =...
