Calculate Tension Drop

Hello, I am writing to see if you could explain me about the voltage drop, and how many meters have to be calculated and the formula, I have read a couple of posts in the forum but I cannot understand well. Suppose I have to take a cable to a workshop at the bottom of a house (40 meters) to calculate the cable section so that there is no voltage drop

Hi you must be more specific .... the voltage drop does not depend only on the distance Generally, in a house there are few cases in which it is necessary to calculate a voltage drop in the case of terminal circuits but if it is calculated in sectional circuits This calculator works quite well: cable calculator Keep in mind that the voltage drop 0 does not exist because there is no resistance 0, it will always have a value other than 0 there is a maximum voltage drop allowed In Argentina it is established as follows: lighting 3% engines 5% (in regime) 15% (initial) sectional circuits are recommended less than 1% but it is admitted that it is something else, provided that in conjunction with the terminal circuits it does not exceed the maximum values. For example, if the sectional falls 2% for lighting, the remaining 1% will remain the voltage drop is calculated from the main board to the farthest load taking into account the maximum circuit consumption Approximate calculation of the voltage drop in the conductors can be done using the expression: ΔU = k. I. L (R cosϕ phi + X senϕ phi) [volt] Where: k = constant equal to 2 for single phase and two phase systems and √3 for three phase systems I = intensity of the line current in ampere. L = length of the circuit in kilometers (L is the distance that separates the two points between which the voltage drop is calculated and should not be confused with the length totalized by the drivers involved) R = effective electrical resistance of the conductor at the operating temperature in ohm / km X = conductor reactance in ohm / km ϕ phi = offset angle between voltage and current Cheers

Complex matter haha to see .. I have to place an air conditioner 20 meters from the main board, I must calculate the section to avoid voltage drop. Assuming the air spends 10A the bill would be
K = 2
I = 10
L = (count 20 or go to km?) Would it be 0.020?
R = here would be the resistance of copper, right?
X =
Phi =
Where I don't complete I don't understand, sorry if it's annoying to explain and I don't understand, it doesn't seem easy. The calculator uses it but the last two options, power factor and Correction coefficients have several options, I don't know which would be the one indicated.

It will depend on the type of installation and cable you use
You can do it with the calculator
In cos phi place 0.85
In correction coefficient if there are no other circuits in the same pipeline it goes 1
In voltage drop place 5%
The calculator will recommend several possible options and say the voltage drop

If the sectional circuit has an appreciable voltage drop, you must first calculate its drop and then calculate the circuit by placing a "other" voltage drop and enter an integer that approximates the difference.

GOODNIGHT. YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE LOAD TO INSTALL AND APPLY THE CONSTANT OF THE CABLE ACCORDING TO THE TABLE AND THAT HAS TO BE LESS THAN 3. IF YOU WANT, I LOAD IN KVA OR IN VATIOS AND I DO THE CALCULATION
