Well you've just blown all of my understanding of basic electrics completely out of the water.RF Lighting said:The problem is that for example if the shower heater element (or whatever the load is) is 10kW then at 240V it will use 41.7A, but if the cable run is too long the and the volts drop to say 220V then the current rises to 45.5A.
So why does the current rise in RF Lighting's scenario?davy_owen_88 said:No, in a purely resistive load (shower) the wattage will decrease with voltage as the resistance is fixed.

I understood all that you wrote Adam, except for the above.Adam_151 said:...(although if your measured volatage is 230V and your p-n loop is 0.3, you might think twice before installing a heavy load on a cable thats going to drop 9.2v...)

For example, "p-n"?
