Sample Voltage Drop Calculation Across Cable

See figure 1 and figure 2 below

CBL-0001:

Given:
Length = 1000 ft. I = 79.92 A
PF = Cosθ = 0.26 Sinθ = Sin(Cos-1θ) = 0.966
R = 0.51 Ω /1000 ft. X = 0.0796Ω/1000 ft.

Ract = (0.51Ω /1000 ft.)(1000ft.) = 0.51 Ω

Xact = (0.0796Ω/1000 ft.)(1000 ft.) = 0.0796 Ω

Voltage Drop Calculation:

VD = IRCosθ + IXSinθ ÿ From IEEE Red Book
VD = I[RCosθ + XSinθ]
VD = 79.92 [(0.51)( 0.26) + (0.0796)(0.966)] = 16.74 V
VD3θ = √3 X VD = √3 X 16.74 V = 28.99 V
V D3θ % = (28.99/4160V) X 100 = 0.698 % ÿ Same as PTW32 result
