    NCEES exam problem 129. I am now freaking out about voltage drop

    NEC - Table 9 - Note 2 Ze (for other than .85 PF) = R*PF+Xl*sin(cos^-1(PF)) R(1000ft)=.029 R(250ft)=.029*(250/1000) = .00725 X(1000ft)=.048 X(250ft)=.048*(250/1000)=.012 PF=.8 Ze = .00725*.8+.012*sin(cos^-1(.8)) Ze = .013 Vd = I*Ze = 400*.013 = 5.2V V = Vs(L-N)-Vd V=277-5.2 = 271.8...
