Everything just clicked. This is so much simpler than the way it's been explained to me before. Thank you

Your video is the best explanation I have seen for voltage drop in my 48 years of experience. Anyone can read all about it, but a video like yours explains it best for future electricians. Good job!

I recall an instructor going through this formula many years ago. However in an adult evening class he kind of rushed through it in only a week which was two nights . That was before the internet . Today I am glad teachers like you bring the important topics like this for re-learning to learn . Thanks .

exactly!! and I hated that. because of the "know it all" mentality of electricians, a teacher would run through crap and be like, "well I know you guys all know this, so we're just going to run through this really quick, is there anyone that needs to slow down?" REALLY!?!?! like youre REALLY gonnas raise your hand and tell the class that youre gonna slow them the hell down! thats going to ALSO cause unneeded stress upon the guy learning!! I HATED THAT!! HATED!! TOTALLY HATED THAT!!

Could not have said that more perfectl! Although I tried in my LONG comment above lol

If everyone was like you the world would be a better place.

You saved me from yet another sleepless night trying to figure out which of my contractors is right about my wire size for my generator. Sorry about the other SUPER LONG COMMENT but I thought it would be worth laying out my math showing you how you helped me learn this tonight. I know NOTHING about electricity so this was perfect sir!

As a young one in the trades thank you for what you do. I can only imagine the setup it takes to get these videos out. Keep it up.

You are the best teacher I have found for my electrical answers! Please keep making them. I value your time and energy doing these on the whiteboard. I have learned more from you than my teachers!!

I could not agree more sir! This saved me hundreds of $$$$ on my 160' generator wire run that I am buying in 2 days. Absolutly amazing. $20 tip to this gentleman!

Mr. Craig...you explain so well, I just write it. Thanks a lot.

Thank you very much. Had a long run out and down to a well pump. Your information helped me size the wire correctly. Many thanks!

thank you Sir Craig i'm a huge fan of yours and thank you for your the Voltage drop information to keep us safe

Im taking my JM test this week. The way you explain it makes a lot of sense. Thanks. I'm sure this will help a lot during the test

Great Video with great easy to understand information! Thanks for doing a great job!

Great explanation, I needed more clarification when studying on my own. Thank you for upload.

Best voltage drop video on KZread

This is awesome my teacher didn't explain this to well and I was lost when he explained it. I'm a visual learner and this made it super simple to understand!! I'm taking my journeymen exam soon and this is great great practice!! Thank you so much!!!!

Your videos are so helpful, appreciate ya man 🙏🏼

I would give you 100000000 LIKE for that video!! I am electrician came from overseas. I have been working electrician in the USA for six years. Have SO MUCH difficulty of Decimal. Now,you Craig got me how to Calculate the voltage drop SO EASLY !! THANK YOUUUUUUUUUU!!! Please, upload more videos like that !!!

You saved me! Kudos to you brother may god bless you. Keep doing what you do

Thinks for the help , its been a while from studying this .

Very nice way of teaching i appreciate KZread for allowing people like you to help guys like me better understand this topic good job

Thanks I need to revisit this exercises once in a while so I don't forget , I'm getting old and memory not always good , but on the back of my mind I know there is always someone great electrician helping others Tx

So, im studing for my masters, and its been awhile since i studied for my journeymans, and i dont think that i ever fully understud the whole sizing of wire when voltage drop is given, im using a mike holtz study book and kind of jumping around, i was totally lost on how to calculate until i watched this video not i fully understand, so when i have one of these questions come up ill be thinking about you man, hats off to you, and thanks for helping further my career. God bless

8:49 minute mark "cooper" equals copper. Which is an excellent conductor.Great video and commentary. I'm going with a 25' ft length because of. Thanks.

I haven’t done a vd Calc in a while, thanks for a good refresher!

Excellent job!!! 👍👍👍

Im a first year apprentice and thiss just helped me finish my Voltage Drop and wire size calculating homework, you are a god sent human

Love your videos my man, helping me out so much

Everything I needed to know in the first minute. Thanks! 😎

Very nice and clear explanation of voltage drop and wire size calculation. In large homes I have a nearly 6000 sq feet. Some of the voltage drops for a 15 amp branch circuit of at least when measured from the ideal circuit analyzer suggests a drop of 9-11percent that’s for the end receptacles on that circuit even though the first receptacle has. Voltage drop of 3.5 percent. I suspect this is a common problem when electricians and construction companies are fitting branch circuits namely that they meet the code for the first receptacle but not all the receptacles. Short of rewiring the circuit is there any external means to bring the voltage up on those end receptacles - most residential equipment could tolerate a drop of that nature but obviously long- term it’s not going to do that equipment any favors.

In my opinion code should require 20 amp circuits on all as a minimum on plugin recpticals; witch requers a minum 12 gauge wire witch should have less Voltage drop! A 15 amp breaker can't have a wire less than 14 awg but THERE'S nothing in the code that says you can't use 12 gauge or heavier on a 15 amp Breaker. Breakers at least standard breakers job is to protect the wiring not what's connected to it like a lamp pluged in to a plugin recptical, Etcetera, Etcetera.

You are the best, you make it very easy to understand and remember. Thank you, please keep making more

Many thanks Im in class early getting ready to take my midterm exam. This voltage drop video really helped break it down. Please alert me of any electrical videos you have. Thanks.

One of the best instructor of all time goat .. would love to have one of your instructor book

You explained it so perfectly, Thank You.

Dude thank god you have this channel thank you

I was in class last night and I don't know if I didn't get it or if my teacher was struggling to find a way to teach it but I needed this explanation thank you so much!

Thanks, I am studying for my electrician licence and this helped me a lot.

Great explanation Craig. I just needed to calculate the conductor size for a shed building that is a total of 320 feet from the supply panel. Want to have a total of ampacity of 50A on a 240V single phase system. I came up with #2 THWN Copper for my conductors. Thanks for the refresher.
