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

crossy
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!!

    The UK voltage is nominally 230V, although in reality it is often closer to 245V. At the meter terminals, the supply limits are 216.2V at the lower end, up to 253V. 


    Regards,


    Alan.
