Comment: The insulation layers somewhat protect conductors insulation during the coil winding process since there are tensions under which the conductor is being formed into a coil.

Suggestion: The NFPA 70-2002 National Electrical Code does care about voltage drop more than the above posting suggest. Namely, the Article 647 includes:
"""(D) Voltage Drop. The voltage drop on any branch circuit shall not exceed 1.5 percent. The combined voltage drop of feeder and...

The pump will affect how long that starting current lasts.
///True.\\ The more torque the pump draws during startup, the longer it takes the unit to get up to speed and longer the starting current lasts.
///It depends. If the motor...
Comment: This is essentially eng-tips Forum. Lengthy discussions do also appear; however, any practical usage often needs to be either proven, derived or referenced. This is the biggest strength of engineering and eng-tips.

What has me baffled, is the breaker that always trips is two breakers upstream from the transformer. The breaker feeding the transformer and the breaker feeding that power panel never trip. All of the three of these breakers are rated at...
