i gotta voltage drop question....
two 3/4" runs, x10's in them, two full houses and a ground
two conduits, for a total of 12 circuits....
now, connected load for calc purposes would be 80% of 20 amps, or sixteen amps....
so, my little voltage drop calc app tells me that a 208 volt 3ph 4w 75 degree application
will give me 2.98% voltage drop at 180 feet.
now, the problem is the run is 625' long
my little app tells me that to make the 3% code requirement for branch circuits, of the 5% total,
i'd need to pull #4's......
they are plugging in a PC at each location. that's it. but they want a quad outlet, and a dedicated 20 amp circuit for each
anyone got any insight on this... ? am i just screwed on this?
i'm looking at a subpanel as the only viable option at this point.... is there any magic derating fine print i'm missing?
thanks for any help....
