Step 2 : Cable Voltage Drop
Looking Up the Cable Impedance:
Referencing standard 'AS/NZS 3008.1.1.2017' for a {{calcvals.MimsVoltage}} {{calcvals.CableType}} {{calcvals.CableFormation}}, three phase cable with
{{calcvals.CableInsulation}} insulation and {{calcvals.CableFormation == "Multicore" ? calcvals.MulticoreArrangement : ""}} {{calcvals.Metal}} conductors
laid in {{calcvals.SinglecoreArrangement}} at an operating temberature of {{calcvals.MimsTemp}}
{{calcvals.CuTemp}}{{calcvals.AlTemp}}℃, finding the
smallest cable with an impedance lower than {{calcvals.maxImpedance}} max impedance of {{calcvals.maxImpedance}} Ohm/m, we find that the resistance and reactance for a cable with {{calcvals.conductor}}mm² size
conductors is:

Calculating the Cables Impedance:
Calculate the Actual Voltage Drop:
The Voltage Drop is calculated from the equation
Cable Derated Current Capacity:
Check : Cable Voltage Drop
Pass - Voltage Drop is Ok.
The computed voltage drop equates to {{ calcvals.voltagedroppercent }} % of the supply voltage, this is less than the maximum permissable voltage drop.
Fail - Excessive Voltage Drop
The computed voltage drop equates to {{ calcvals.voltagedroppercent }} % of the supply voltage, which is greater than the maximum permissable voltage drop.
