What is the approximate voltage drop 120 if 10 gage solid copper coated wire is used?
Your question cannot be answered, as we do not know what type of wire the copper is coated on, nor do we know how long the wire is. But, let's assume that it is solid copper # 10 wire 100 feet long. The voltage drop is zero when there is no electricity flowing through it. (That is, 'current', measured in Amperes, or just Amps.) If there is, say, 1 Ampere of current, the voltage drop is close to 1/10th Volt in the 100 feet. If there is, say, 15 Amperes of current, the voltage drop is a tiny bit over 1-1/2 Volts. If you double the wire's length, the voltage drop also doubles, and if the current doubles, the voltage drops also doubles. Or, as in my example, above, if the current rises by 15 times, then the voltage drop rises by 15 times.
What is the relationship between wire size length of run and voltage drop?
The wire resistance is proportional to the length of wire divided by its cross-section area. The voltage drop is proportional to the resistance times the current.
How many amps will 14 gauge wire carry at 200ft?
A #14 copper wire with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 15 amps. To answer your question for voltage drop at 200 feet a voltage needs to be stated. Assuming the voltage of 120 is used to maintain 15 amps at the distance of 200 feet a #6 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to less that 3 percent. Assuming the voltage of 240 is used to maintain 15 amps at the distance of 200 feet a #10 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to less that 3 percent.
Need to run 30 amps about 100 feet what copper wire?
This is a voltage drop question. A voltage at 30 amps needs to be stated to answer the question.
What size wire do you need to run 1000 feet and still have a minimum of 60 amps?
Looks like You need to run #10 to get 10 amps at 600 feet. You will have a voltage drop. You might only have aprox. 107.676 volts at the end of the run. You will do a little better if you use strand wire. Good luck.
What wire size required to carry single phase 100 Amp to the length of 2000 meter in India?
This is a voltage drop question. A voltage needs to be stated to answer this question.

How many times can a 110v line be split without voltage drop?
A splice has a minor additional resistance associated with it, but the main reason for voltage drop will be length. The smaller the wire diameter, the higher the resistance per unit length. The type wire such as stranded or solid or copper and aluminum also contribute to voltage loss in various ways.
A voltage drop across a component is measured by placing the Meter in?
A voltage drop across a component is measured by placing the meter in parallel with the component. This configuration allows the meter to measure the potential difference across the component, providing an accurate reading of the voltage drop. It's important to ensure the meter is set to the appropriate voltage range to avoid damage and obtain precise measurements.
What do you use to check for line voltage sags?
Voltage drops need to be checked with a volt meter. Depending on where the drop is thought to be, the meter can be connected an wiring plugs to find where the drop is.
Does voltage drop and copper loss are same thing?
Voltage drop and copper loss are not the same thing, though they are related. Voltage drop refers to the reduction in voltage as electrical current flows through a conductor, primarily due to its resistance. Copper loss, on the other hand, specifically refers to the power loss (in watts) that occurs due to the resistance of the copper wire, calculated using the formula I²R, where I is the current and R is the resistance. While both concepts involve resistance, voltage drop focuses on the change in voltage, while copper loss quantifies energy loss as heat.
What happens to voltage when wire length increase?
When the length of the wire increases voltage drop across the wire will occur.There are two factors that can result in voltage drop. One diameter of the wire, two length of the wire.Voltage drop increases with increase in length of wire, whereas voltage drop decreases with increase in diameter (cross section area) of the wire.G.RAOAnswerIf you are asking what happens to the voltage across a length of wire when its length increases, the answer is nothinghappens! The voltage applied to the wire is determined by the supply, not by the load (i.e. the wire).
What is the Voltage drop for 70 foot run 300 watt 12 volt ac circuit?
IF USING A COPPER AT 105 DEG. CELSIUS - 70 FT. ONE-WAY LENGTH: TO GET AT VOLTAGE DROP = 3.72% AT 25 AMP LOAD ---- USE #1 AWG TO GET AT VOLTAGE DROP = 2.94% AT 25 AMP LOAD ---- USE #1/0 AWG TO GET AT VOLTAGE DROP = 1.85% AT 25 AMP LOAD ---- USE #3/0 AWG
What is the relationship between wire size length of run and voltage drop?
The wire resistance is proportional to the length of wire divided by its cross-section area. The voltage drop is proportional to the resistance times the current.
What wire size will carry 50 amps 200 ft 110 voltage?
Because of voltage drop, 4 awg copper would be recommended for that distance run. <<>> A #1 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 50 amps for 200 feet on a 110 volt system.

Is there a rule to distance of cable from a power source to low voltage lighting without voltage drop and do you have to put transformers or outlets in the yard?
Voltage drop depends on the size & length of the wire and the wattage of the bulbs. If they make an LED replacement bulb , you would hardly notice the voltage drop.
