The service is 120 V and the estimated load for the building is 35 amps. UF-B cable and a 2% voltage drop will be used. First determine minimum size based on ampacity. = Second: determine size based on VD = AWG #8 AWG 6 * Conductor Size Example #3 Determine by calculation, using the standard equation, the size of conductor that will be required to provide service to a 120 V, 1-1/2 hp water pump that is located 250 feet from its source. The conductors with be copper and directly buried. A 2% voltage drop is acceptable. The motor has a power factor of 0.70. The standard equation for copper requires values for amperage, voltage and length. The load on the circuit, amperage, must be determined first. 1 hp = 746 watts, but when determining conductor sizes for electric motors it is common practice to use 1,000 watts per horsepower. * Conductor size #3--cont. For this circuit with a 8.75 amp load, the circular mills of the conductors can be determined by: The conductor size is: #6 = 26,240 cmil #8 = 16,510 cmil. Size (AWG) Area (cmil) 14 4110 12 6530 10 10380 8 16510 6 26240 4 41740 3 52620 2 66360 Which size should be used? * Conductor Sizing Conclusion For short distances, ampacity determines the minimum conductor size. For long distances, voltage drop determines the minimum size. Because long and short are relative terms, both ampacity and voltage drop must be checked when sizing conductors. * Questions ? * * 120 V is RMS voltage. Utilities try to keep it within this range. Brown out—extremely harmful for electric motors on hard to start loads. Compressors Very damaging to electronic equipment. * The minimum is a10 foot, 5/8 inch brass rod driven into the ground vertically or not more than 45 degrees from vertical. * * neutra
