12.11. VERIFIY OF VOLTAGE DROP ON MAINS
Measurement voltage drop as a result of current flow through mains or a part of it can be
very important. If necessary:
 Verify the capability of an existing mains line to supply a load
 Dimension a new installation
 Search for possible causes of troubles on devices, loads, etc. connected to mains
Purpose of the test
Measure the maximum percentage value of voltage drop between two points of mains.
Parts of the system to be checked
The test includes two sequential impedance measurements in the initial point of mains
power line (typically downstream of a protection device) and in the final point of the same
line.
Allowable values
The instrument compares the calculated value of V% maximum voltage drop to the set
limit value (according to applicable guidelines) according to the following relationship:
