How this is calculated

Drop = 2 × current × resistance per foot × one-way length, using copper resistance at 20°C.

Formula

Drop = 2 × I × R/1000ft × Length ÷ 1000

Frequently asked questions

Aluminum wire? It has higher resistance, so the drop is larger.

Is this code advice? No; follow local electrical codes.
