     In dc circuits, voltage drop is equal to current
    in amperes multiplied by the resistance of
    conductors.
     In ac circuits, voltage drop is a function of
    load current and power factor and the
    resistance and reactance of the conductors.
    PROBLEM #1:
    A 500ft dc circuit of two 4/0 copper cables
    carries 200A. Resistance of 1000ft of 4/0
    copper cable is 0.0512Ω.
    a) What is the voltage drop?
    b) If the voltage delivered is 240V, what is the
    %Regulation?
    PROBLEM #2:
    A mine one mile from a motor-generator
    station must receive 100kW dc at not less than
    575V. Maximum voltage of the generator is
    600V. What conductor size should be used?
    PROBLEM #3:
    Given a load of 500kW at 80% power factor
    (lagging), 7.2kV circuit volltage, 60Hz single-
    phase using 1/0 aluminum conductor. The
    load is located 1 mile from the substation.
    What is the voltage drop?
    r = 0.185 ohms/1000ft
    x = 0.124 ohms/1000ft
    In 3-phase circuits with balanced loads on
    each phase, the line-to-neutral voltage drop is
    merely the product of the phase current and
    the conductor impedance. There is no return
    current with balanced 3-phase loads. Thus, the
    line-to-line voltage drop is 3 times the line to
    neutral drop or

    PROBLEM #3:
    A three-phase 12.47kV circuit is 1 mile long
    with 1/0 aluminum conductors with at an
    equivalent spacing of 30in and a 3-phase load
    of 1,500kW at 0.8 pf lagging. What is the line-
    to-line voltage drop? R+jX=0.9769+j0.6547
    ohms.
    PROBLEM #4:
    A three-phase 12.47kV circuit 1-mi long with
    the same 1/0 aluminum conductors at an
    equivalent spacing of 30” and a load of
    1,500kW at 0.8 pf. lagging. What is the line-
    to-line voltage drop?
    PROBLEM NO. 4:
    Determine the voltage drop when a three-
    phase, 20,000kVA load at 95% pf is carried 10
    mi over an overhead 69 kV with No. 2/0 ACSR
    conductors. Assuming the receiving end
    voltage to be 69 kV, what is the percent
    voltage drop?
    PROBLEM #5:
    What overhead conductor size should be used
    to supply a load of 40,000kVA at 95% pf and
    receiving end voltage of 69kV with a
    permissible voltage drop of 5% and 8 mi
    between sending and receiving ends?
    PROBLEM #5:
    What is the voltage drop for a 34.5kV overhead
    circuit 3 miles long using 4/0 aluminum
    conductor and carrying a balanced 3-phase
    load of 15,000 kVA at 90% power factor?
    PROBLEM #6:
    What is the minimum aluminum conductor size
    to carry 6000kVA at 90% power factor of
    balanced 3-phase load over 2-mi,
    12.47Y/7.2kV feeder with no more than 3%
    voltage drop?
    PROBLEM:
    Determine the voltage drop and %VR for a 3-
    phase 60Hz secondary, 500ft in length, which
    consists of No.4/0 aluminum conductor cable;
    conductor temperature 50 deg C.; receiving
    end load 100kVA at 0.8 pf lagging; receiving
    end line-to-line voltage 480.

    balanced loads at A, B, and C as shown in the
    figure. Determine the following:
    a) The voltage drop.
    b) The real power per phase for each load.
    c) The reactive power per phase for each load.
    d) The kVA output and load power factor of the
    distribution transformer.
    PROBLEM #8:
    The R+jX, of a balanced three-phase circuit,
    represents the total impedance of lines and/or
    transformers. The power factor of the load is
    𝑐𝑜𝑠θ = cos(θ𝑣 − θ𝑖 ). Find the load power factor
    for which the voltage drop is maximum.
