Hello,
I am confusing myself. I am new to electrical studies and trying to calculate voltage drop (and determine what size gauge wire to use) for 260ft, 120V 1phase, 12.5 amps. I want to use #12, but not sure it work.
If I have a 120V 1 phase load (12.5amps), how many wires/conductors are in the cable? Is it 3?
If its 3, do I enter 3 for date entry field 8 here http://www.mikeholt.com/documents/freestuff/Copy_of_voltage_drop_calculations_by_Bill_Bamford.xls ??
I am not sure what to select if it says "select the number of parallel wires"
http://www.calculator.net/voltage-drop-calculator.html If I have a 120V 1phase load, what do I select where it says Number of conductors?
THank you kindly. I am bit loss
