Voltage Drop for Twin 2 B&S Cable: 

To calculate the voltage drop of Twin 2 B&S copper cable, use the following formula:

Voltage Drop = Length x Current x 0.017
                                      Area (32.07)

Length = Total length of cable in metres.

Current = Current draw (amps) through the cable.

Area = Cross sectional area of the copper (in this case 32.07mm²)

Notes:

• Formula only applies to copper at 25°C, voltage drop increases with both ambient and cable temperature, at approx 0.4% per °C.

• 0.017 - This multiplication factor only applies to copper

Example for Twin 2 B&S:

How much voltage drop over 10m of Twin 8 B&S with a current draw of 150A?

• 10m x 150A x 0.017 = 25.50

Divide this by 32.07 (cross sectional area of 2 B&S - mm²)

• 25.50/32.07 = 0.795V

You will have a drop of approximatley .08 Volts over the 10m length
