Volt drop at the intake - Just looking to compare with sunny Thailand.

A nice easy one.


On a "standard" UK domestic supply what sort of volt drop would you expect at the intake for a load of 50A?


In an urban environment and in a rural environment.


We are dropping about 30V (from a nominal 220V) at 50A, of course the other loads in the village may already have pulled things down to 205V!!

  • Dropping 30 volts at 50Amps sounds a bit much to me here in I get a drop of about 7 volts with around 40 amps load thats from a nominal 240 volts sometimes its a lot less as you say depends on other loads on your phase
