Voltage Drop Calculation 1

The document contains calculations for voltage drop in multiple circuits connected to panel PB NO.3. It provides information on the circuit number, wire size and length, load type and current, and calculates the voltage drop based on resistance and reactance values from tables. The calculations show voltage drops between 0.042% to 0.313%, below the allowed 5% limit.
