Voltage drop calculation for radial supply system

AI Thread Summary
Voltdrop calculations for a radial supply system involve determining the total load line current using complex numbers. The calculations show that the total load line current is derived from the sum of two components: 1.5 at -60 degrees and 2.3 at -18 degrees. This results in a combined current of approximately 3.56 MVA at an angle of -34.4 degrees. The discussion also prompts users to seek further clarification on how to obtain specific numerical values from the initial inputs. Overall, the thread emphasizes the importance of understanding complex power calculations in electrical engineering.
