Fels Mobilis ELITE Manual page 12

Taking into account the mains voltage, the length of the section considered, the nominal intensity,
start-up intensity and the impedance of the conductor selected, voltage drops can be worked out
for the start-up phase and normal running phase using the following formulas:
Three-phase alternative current:
Continuous current:
Voltage drop in %:
I: current in continuous operation or at start-up, as appropriate (in Amperes)
Lt: length of the section considered (in m), taking Lt as per paragraph 4
Z: line impedance (in Ω/m) (see general technical data, paragraph 12 for Elite, 11 for Movit)
R: line resistance (in Ω/m) (see general technical data, paragraph 12 for Elite, 11 for Movit)
U: mains voltage (in Volts)
In the case of impulse running, the voltage drop can be quickly checked using the "continuous
operation" and "start-up" graphs (see on the following pages).
When operating at 60Hz, overheating is similar, but voltage drop is greater:
For any given intensity:
X being the reactance at 60Hz
60
X being the reactance at 50Hz
50
= √ �� 2

4. FEEDING: LENGTH OF LINE SECTIONS
It is possible to have several feeding points along a line.
The judicious positioning of these points means voltage drop can be reduced.
If L is the line length, Lt is the maximum length of the section to be taken into account to work out
the voltage drop:
One end-line feeding point
One midway feeding point
Two feeding points
