Voltage Drop for Twin 4 B&S Cable: 

To calculate the voltage drop of Twin 4 B&S copper cable, use the following formula:

Voltage Drop = Length x Current x 0.017
                                      Area (20.26)

Length = Total length of cable in metres.

Current = Current draw (amps) through the cable.

Area = Cross sectional area of the copper (in this case 20.26mm²)

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 4 B&S:

How much voltage drop over 10m of Twin 4 B&S with a current draw of 108A?

• 10m x 108A x 0.017 = 18.36

Divide this by 20.26 (cross sectional area of 4 B&S - mm²)

• 18.36/20.26 = 0.9062V

You will have a drop of approximatley 0.91 Volts over the 10m length
