Voltage Drop Calculation

Previous Feature: Fault Calculations - Next Feature: Material Takeoffs

Design Master Electrical calculates the voltage drop on every feeder and branch circuit in your project.  You can view the voltage drop on a circuit-by-circuit basis, or generate a project wide schedule showing the worst drops on each panel.

voltage drop calculation



Any circuit or feeder that exceeds the maximum voltage drop allowed by the NEC (3% for the circuit or the feeder, 5% for the sum of the two) will be highlighted in the schedule, making you aware of the problem.  Solving the voltage drop problem can be done by upsizing wires, reducing load on a circuit, or shortening a run of wire.  Design Master Electrical makes it easy for you to adjust your design and resolve and issues.
