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!

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 Жыл бұрын
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!!

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.

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.
@keithtomlin46492 жыл бұрын
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.
