Volt drop theories

[SimpleSimon]

I've yet to come across this problem but like every good scout I like to be prepared.
If a circuit is over the maximum volt drop permitted but fixed in the length of the circuit, how would you over come this? Would it be a simple case of using cable with bigger csa? Does anyone else know of any solutions?

you,ve answered your own question. only way to reduce volt drop is to reduce the resistance of the cable, either by reducing the length or increasing the csa. (assuming the load current is non- variable).

Spot on Telectrix only way really.

Thank you, just thought I was missing a trick.
