Why Voltage Drop Matters
The Importance of Voltage Drop
Excessive voltage drop can cause serious problems in electrical systems, affecting equipment performance, safety, and energy efficiency.
- Equipment Malfunction: Motors run slower and hotter, lights dim
- Energy Waste: Power lost as heat in conductors
- Safety Hazards: Overheating can cause fires
- Code Compliance: May fail inspections
