[QUOTE="Ardet R, post: 489190, member: 30040"] The volt drop is measured from the origin of the installation to the end of the circuit (or the worst case point in the circuit if it branches or is a ring). Volt drop is generally only considered during the design stage so the voltage would be taken to be the nominal supply voltage of 230V. Andy correctly identifies that an outbuilding with a different earthing system may be a separate installation and Risteard points out that a piece of equipment must function correctly and safely; the regulation also states it is OK if the voltage drop permissible be identified within a product standard. The compliance with these statements is deemed to be in place if the voltage drops in the table are complied with. In general the origin of the installation will be the point at which the incoming supply becomes the property of the owner of the installation, i.e. at the meter. [/QUOTE]
