Drop panels are used to thicken the slab around the column in flat slabs to avoid punching shear. Since flat slabs have no stirrups shear is resisted by thickening the slab around the column to increase the concrete in shear.

Beams can also be used, but generally drop panels are preferred to avoid conflicts with the electromechanical works of the structure.

Why would the volts increase from the main panel to the sub panel?

The increase in voltage from the main panel to the sub panel may be due to the resistance in the wires within the electrical system. As the current flows through the wires, there may be a voltage drop across the length of the wires, which can result in a slight increase in voltage at the sub panel. This phenomenon is known as voltage drop.
