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!!

    I am not sure that this is an answerable question save for "not a lot".


    I think that diversity probably takes care of it, at least with UK infrastructure. However, if you have a relatively modest generator somewhere, and a village is at the end of a long distribution line (I was going to say network) then there must come a time when the generation cannot keep up.


    Just my thoughts!
