Voltage Drop Safetrack3

The document discusses voltage drop calculations for shrouded conductor systems used for cranes and material handling equipment. It provides formulas for calculating voltage drop under AC and DC current. Tables show impedance and resistance values for aluminum and copper conductors at different current levels. Examples calculate the voltage drop for single and dual crane systems using aluminum or copper conductors, with either end or dual power feed configurations. Voltage drop is lower with dual feeds or copper conductors.
