9. Closed-loop connectors should be used when wiring to the main cir-
cuit terminals.
10.Voltage drop should be considered when determining the wire size.
Voltage drop can be calculated using the following equation:
Phase-to-phase voltage drop (V)
= × wire resistance (Ω/km) × wiring distance (m) × current
(A) × 10
-3
Select a wire size so that voltage drop will be less than 2% of the
normal rated voltage.
