    Introduction To Voltage Drop

    Uploaded by

    This document calculates the voltage drop from a TNB substation to street lighting loads using feeder pillars. It first calculates the voltage drop from the substation to a feeder pillar using a 185mm2 cable, which is 2.82V. It then calculates the voltage drop from the feeder pillar to each street light, which ranges from 0.58V to 2.83V depending on the cable size and current. The total voltage drop is within the maximum allowed 4% regulation. Voltage drop tables are provided for determining losses of different cable sizes.
