Conduit Effects on Voltage Drop
How Conduit Type Affects Voltage Drop
The type of conduit affects AC impedance due to magnetic effects, which can impact voltage drop calculations.
Steel Conduit
Higher reactance due to magnetic effects. Use NEC Table 9 values.
PVC/Non-Magnetic
Lower reactance. Use appropriate NEC Table 9 column.
