Good Morning,
I would like to know when using your free "voltage drop calculator" and
calculating for a single phase 240/120 volt residential electrical service do I
use 240 volts in the "select voltage" cell?
Also, the length of underground run is 600 feet, with a calculated house load of 135 amps, using 300 kcmil stranded Aluminum, with a 5% voltage drop. Is this a safe voltage drop percentage or should I use 3% and up size my conductors to 500 kcmil?
Thanks for your input.
