Parallel Conductors for Voltage Drop

When single conductors cannot meet voltage drop requirements, parallel conductors provide an effective solution.

Benefits

  • • Reduces effective resistance (R/n where n = number of conductors)
  • • Allows use of smaller, more manageable wire sizes
  • • Can reduce overall installation cost for large feeders
