I'm getting different voltage drop calculations depending on conductor (60C, 75C, or 90C) setting.
2002 NEC setting
1ph
60C
200 feet
120V
20A
5% VD
= #8 copper ** Actual VD is 4.9% with an allowable 202 feet before I reach the full 5%.

120V
20A
5% VD
= #6 copper ** Actual VD is 3.3% with an allowable 305 feet before I reach the full 5%.

90C
200 feet
120V
20A
5% VD
= #6 copper ** Actual VD is 3.4% with an allowable 291 feet before I reach the full 5%.
Why is this? Shouldn't it be the same regardless of the conductor temperature rating?1ph
