Everything you need to know to solve Voltage Drop Calculations!!

[@AndTodaysProjectIs]

You saved me from yet another sleepless night trying to figure out which of my contractors is right about my wire size for my generator. Sorry about the other SUPER LONG COMMENT but I thought it would be worth laying out my math showing you how you helped me learn this tonight. I know NOTHING about electricity so this was perfect sir!

[@craigmichaud-electricalins4602]

I am very glad I was able to help! Thank you very much I appreciate the support. CM

[@kevindick7485]

I recall an instructor going through this formula many years ago. However in an adult evening class he kind of rushed through it in only a week which was two nights . That was before the internet . Today I am glad teachers like you bring the important topics like this for re-learning to learn . Thanks .

[@todosmiros8119]

exactly!! and I hated that. because of the "know it all" mentality of electricians, a teacher would run through crap and be like, "well I know you guys all know this, so we're just going to run through this really quick, is there anyone that needs to slow down?" REALLY!?!?! like youre REALLY gonnas raise your hand and tell the class that youre gonna slow them the hell down! thats going to ALSO cause unneeded stress upon the guy learning!! I HATED THAT!! HATED!! TOTALLY HATED THAT!!

[@abi2874]

me in class with the same problem as a young adult and teacher rushing thru it haha come on Mills slow down XD

[@Wirenutby]

Your video is the best explanation I have seen for voltage drop in my 48 years of experience. Anyone can read all about it, but a video like yours explains it best for future electricians. Good job!

[@awes0mechr1s]

Everything just clicked. This is so much simpler than the way it's been explained to me before. Thank you

[@joeyramirez9663]

If everyone was like you the world would be a better place.

[@BerzerkerGarage]

WHOLY SH**!!!!!!!! finally a straight forward easy to understand explanation!!!!! I can not thank you enough, I spent 5 hours on my own trying to figure it out. I flew through the rest of my homework in minutes. THANK YOU

[@AndTodaysProjectIs]

Could not have said that more perfectl! Although I tried in my LONG comment above lol

[@AP_Electric89]

Going for my master's license in 6 days. Thanks for the brush up on voltage drop. "#2 Cooper Conductor"

[@TheLucasthatyouknow]

As a young one in the trades thank you for what you do. I can only imagine the setup it takes to get these videos out. Keep it up.

[@Tony-ye3pp]

With out this i would not have passed my test.this is the one thing i had trouble with.it took majority of my points.so glad i ran into your vedio.thanks so much.

[@daymianhayes2493]

Best voltage drop video on KZbin

[@patrickstirling5740]

You are the best teacher I have found for my electrical answers! Please keep making them. I value your time and energy doing these on the whiteboard. I have learned more from you than my teachers!!

[@Ninasky79]

Amen 2 that !

[@bryanvelazquez6899]

brother, thank you so much. Finally understand how this works. Testing for state exam tomorrow and this clarified so much!

[@TheTrueWalrus96]

In its category/ context, This could be THE most helpful video on the internet. Thank you Genuinely SO much. Sincerely appreciate it! Im currently buried in ET school, and you're saving my bacon.

[@AndTodaysProjectIs]

I could not agree more sir! This saved me hundreds of $$$$ on my 160' generator wire run that I am buying in 2 days. Absolutly amazing. $20 tip to this gentleman!

[@Mac_993]

You’re providing a great service for someone like myself who is just starting the trade. Thank you for taking the time to make these.

[@Ninasky79]

You rock, I'm in my 3rd year and you made this so much easier than my instructor did !!! Ty buddy 👍👍😉

[@justinstewart2130]

So, im studing for my masters, and its been awhile since i studied for my journeymans, and i dont think that i ever fully understud the whole sizing of wire when voltage drop is given, im using a mike holtz study book and kind of jumping around, i was totally lost on how to calculate until i watched this video not i fully understand, so when i have one of these questions come up ill be thinking about you man, hats off to you, and thanks for helping further my career. God bless

[@danielesposito9166]

Im a first year apprentice and thiss just helped me finish my Voltage Drop and wire size calculating homework, you are a god sent human

[@meekinsstevenmeekins]

8:49 minute mark "cooper" equals copper. Which is an excellent conductor.Great video and commentary. I'm going with a 25' ft length because of. Thanks.

[@Benjaminjackson1616]

Very nice way of teaching i appreciate KZbin for allowing people like you to help guys like me better understand this topic good job

[@Rico702Vegas]

Brother you wrote "cooper" twice and "condutor" once. Besides having to watch this on 2x speed, my attention to detail is what saves my life and prevents return trips to anything I've touched. Please pay attention man, Godspeed.

[@josetrejo591]

Thanks I need to revisit this exercises once in a while so I don't forget , I'm getting old and memory not always good , but on the back of my mind I know there is always someone great electrician helping others Tx

[@joshhuffman1528]

I was in class last night and I don't know if I didn't get it or if my teacher was struggling to find a way to teach it but I needed this explanation thank you so much!

[@modallas8034]

Excellent job!!! 👍👍👍

[@jamesculotta8997]

Thinks for the help , its been a while from studying this .

[@haideral-shahee2656]

I would give you 100000000 LIKE for that video!! I am electrician came from overseas. I have been working electrician in the USA for six years. Have SO MUCH difficulty of Decimal. Now,you Craig got me how to Calculate the voltage drop SO EASLY !! THANK YOUUUUUUUUUU!!! Please, upload more videos like that !!!

[@joeklimisch2938]

Shout out to your vids! You helped my boy Derick pass his masters and now he’s a full time baller

[@felixgarcia2898]

Great video Craig. Thank you. You're the best.

[@Gravel-79]

Thank you, I'm taking my JW test in 4 days. Your video helped me refresh my mind on voltage drop.

[@stevestewart3816]

Did you pass

[@Gravel-79]

@@stevestewart3816 yes sir.

[@mathman0101]

Very nice and clear explanation of voltage drop and wire size calculation. In large homes I have a nearly 6000 sq feet. Some of the voltage drops for a 15 amp branch circuit of at least when measured from the ideal circuit analyzer suggests a drop of 9-11percent that’s for the end receptacles on that circuit even though the first receptacle has. Voltage drop of 3.5 percent. I suspect this is a common problem when electricians and construction companies are fitting branch circuits namely that they meet the code for the first receptacle but not all the receptacles. Short of rewiring the circuit is there any external means to bring the voltage up on those end receptacles - most residential equipment could tolerate a drop of that nature but obviously long- term it’s not going to do that equipment any favors.

[@keithtomlin4649]

In my opinion code should require 20 amp circuits on all as a minimum on plugin recpticals; witch requers a minum 12 gauge wire witch should have less Voltage drop! A 15 amp breaker can't have a wire less than 14 awg but THERE'S nothing in the code that says you can't use 12 gauge or heavier on a 15 amp Breaker. Breakers at least standard breakers job is to protect the wiring not what's connected to it like a lamp pluged in to a plugin recptical, Etcetera, Etcetera.

[@IsraelKero]

One of the best instructor of all time goat .. would love to have one of your instructor book

[@faustinoybarra979]

Many thanks Im in class early getting ready to take my midterm exam. This voltage drop video really helped break it down. Please alert me of any electrical videos you have. Thanks.

Great video 👍

[@scottgrafer2222]

Great explanation Craig. I just needed to calculate the conductor size for a shed building that is a total of 320 feet from the supply panel. Want to have a total of ampacity of 50A on a 240V single phase system. I came up with #2 THWN Copper for my conductors. Thanks for the refresher.
