Drop Voltage & Capacitance Calculation

The document contains equations and specifications for calculating voltage drop and maximum permissible cable lengths for relay protection systems. Key parameters include one-way distance, control voltage, conductor cross-section, relay power, and actual voltage drop. The equations are used to determine total voltage drop, percentage voltage drop, and maximum cable length while ensuring the voltage drop does not exceed relay specifications. Relay models from different manufacturers are tested against the criteria to check if they pass the voltage drop and cable length limits.
