ok. I was trying to take the results and force a solution into the complex equation V=IZ, but I did not have all the information I needed. To make it work, I was having to force an angle for the current because I could not legitimately jump from load to source across the conductor impedance.
I...
Well it certainly can't be in phase on both sides of the impedance, but can be in phase on either the source or load side. I just picked the load side.
Suppose before reaching the source side, the current (with a phase angle of zero) saw a capacitive reactance that was equal to the inductive...
I hope this doesn't repeat but I'm not sure if my 1st post went through. I had a typo in the 1st one anyway.
I am trying to compare voltage drop calculations and I am going in circles.
I am trying to compare the IEEE exact VD formula (for line-neutral):
VD_exact = Vs + IRcos@ + IXsin@ -...
