The lengths in each of the Wire Sizing tables represent 100% of the allowable voltage drop when motor is running at full
load. When sizing wire, the voltage drop of each wire segment must be included. The total must not exceed 100% of the
allowable drop. Take for example a 1.5 HP 3Ø motor with a distance from Service Entrance to Controller of 100' and 500'
between the Controller and Motor.
• Service Entrance to Controller = 100' of 10 AWG (100/455) = 22 % (455' is from the S.E. to Controller chart)
• Controller to Motor
= 500' of 12 AWG (500/709) = 71 % (709' is from the Controller to Motor chart)
Total Drop (must be ≤ 100%) 93 %
If the distance from the Controller to Motor was 600' (600/709) = 85% + 22% = 107%, we would need to use #10 wire
for that segment, ex. 600/1126 = 53% + 22% (for 100' of #10) = 75% which is acceptable. It is also acceptable to use dif-
ferent wire sizes for the Buried and Well sections of wire.
