Voltage Drop

We at Amp Champ specialize in electrical service and repair of the existing home market. Frequently we find serious issues with the existing wiring of homes - even ones recently built. The main issue we find is voltage drop caused by poor workmanship of the electrician installing the original wiring. In brand new homes in new subdivisions, typically the main electrical service panel is located in the attached garage and the branch circuits are run to the other end of the house. The light gauge wire is in excess of 200 feet. The result is a voltage drop as great as 14% on the receptacle located farthest from the service panel. The Canadian Electrical Code requires that any branch circuit has no more than 3% voltage drop.

Is this Code Rule enforced? Obviously not. We at Amp Champ find these issues over and over again in just about every home we work in.

Why is voltage drop a concern?
You may ask why is voltage drop a concern. The answer is for the protection of the appliances you use every day. Motors, e.g. your vacuum cleaner motor draw a set amount of volts and amps to operate. When a motor is starved of voltage, it tries to make up its required power by drawing more amps. Amperage is the part of electricity that creates heat. Too many amps equates to too much heat and usually results in motor windings burning out long before the rated life of the appliance.

How to prevent voltage drop?
The remedy and the correct way to prevent this unnecessary damage is to wire the new dwelling according to the Canadian Electrical Code rules. The service panel needs to be located as central as possible. There may be even a sub panel added to carry some of the heavier loads that are located at a remote part of the house.
As a standard package we add surge protection devices to better protect the electronic circuits boards found in every modern household appliance.
