What is the maximum allowed voltage drop for motor circuits?
Under standard electrical building regulations (IEC 60364), maximum permitted voltage drop from the main distribution board to final power circuits is typically 3% to 5%.
Select copper electrical cable cross-section (mm²) based on design current, cable installation method, grouping factors and statutory 3% voltage drop.
