Table D.1
Line Drop Compensation Table - Distribution Line Resistance and Reactance
Note:
1. 60 Hertz reactance in ohms per mile of each conductor of a single phase, or of a three phase, symmetrical triangular
spacing. For other arrangements of conductors see below. The reactance for other frequencies is F/60 times the table values.
Reactance values for copper wire are for concentric standard copper conductors. Reactance values for aluminum cable
conductors are approximately correct.
The Siemens Line Drop Calculator software application
simplifies the calculation of these parameters. Simply enter
the system values and the application automatically
calculates the resistive and reactive components for you.
Enter these values in the <
REGULATOR
> menu, and the
MJ-5 automatically compensates for the line drop when
adjusting the output voltage of the regulator.
