Voltage Drop
Key formulas: dropV÷baseU×100; P×1000÷(baseU×cos)
Resistivity values used here compared with the 20 ℃ standard values, for verification and citation
| Constant | Value | Unit | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Volume resistivity of annealed copper (20 ℃) | 1.7241e-8 (= 0.017241) | Ω·m (Ω·mm²/m) | IEC 60028 (IACS 100%) |
| Volume resistivity of hard-drawn aluminium (20 ℃) | 2.8264e-8 (= 0.028264) | Ω·m (Ω·mm²/m) | IEC 60028 / IEC 60228 (1350 alloy) |
| Temperature coefficient of copper α₂₀ | 0.00393 | K⁻¹ | IEC 60028 |
| Temperature coefficient of aluminium α₂₀ | 0.00403 | K⁻¹ | IEC 60028 |
Note: this page uses ρ(copper) = 0.0184 and ρ(aluminium) = 0.0294 Ω·mm²/m, engineering values that already account for operating conductor temperature; conversion from the 20 ℃ standard follows ρ(t) = ρ₂₀·[1 + α₂₀·(t − 20)]. Voltage-drop limits (e.g. 5%) must be checked against the current supply-system design code.
