On a 120 volt circuit, what would be the minimum acceptable voltage for general purpose recp? I have some runs over 500 ft. These recp. will will be on the street for christmas lights and specal events.
210.19 Conductors ? Minimum Ampacity and Size.
FPN No. 4: Conductors for branch circuits as defined in Article 100, sized to prevent a voltage drop exceeding 3 percent at the farthest outlet of power, heating, and lighting loads, or combinations of such loads, and where the maximum total voltage drop on both feeders and branch circuits to the farthest outlet does not exceed 5 percent, provide reasonable efficiency of operation. See FPN No. 2 of 215.2(A)(3) for voltage drop on feeder conductors.
