Greeting, I have faced one problem with voltage drop calculation in feeder. In NEC-2008 it is not clear the voltage drop for feeder. NEC states that " voltage drop for branch is should not exceed 3% and the total voltage drop for branch plus feeder is 5%".
In large distribution projects, I am really confused because the voltage drop for branch can never exceed of 2% for dwelling unit and now for feeder can I take 3% which makes the total 5%. It has really great impact on cable sizing for large distribution as well as economics.
So, Can any body help me in this issue. Hameedullah Ekhlas
