Calculation of the voltage drop<br />
For long busbar runs, it may be necessary to calculate the<br />
voltage drop.<br />
∆U = a × !3 ×I B × l ×(R × cos ϕ + X ×sinϕ) ×10 –3<br />

∆U = Voltage drop (V)<br />
I B = Operational current (A)<br />
l = Length (m)<br />
a = Load distribution factor see Table<br />
R = Ohmic resistance R 20 (mΩ/m)<br />
X = Inductive resistance X 20 (mΩ/m)<br />
cos ϕ = Power factor<br />
Factor a used in the equation for calculating the voltage drop is<br />
dependent on the load distribution.<br />
