*Spacings larger than one cable diameter will result in a larger voltage drop.
The above table is in accordance with Table 4D1B of the 17th Edition of IEE Wiring Regulations.
For cables having conductors of 16mm2 or less cross sectional area their inductances can be ignored and (mV/A/m)r values only are tabulated. For cables having conductors greater than 16mm2, cross sectional area the impedance values are given as (mV/A/m)z, together with the resistive component (mV/A/m)r and the reactive component (mV/A/m)x.
