Does anyone know how to calculate voltage drop based on wires being run parallel inside a conduit?
We are planning on running eight 10/2 AWG wires inside a conduit for window electric motors and we have already calculated the voltage drop from the wire length but i am curious if the voltage drop based on wires being run parallel is large enough to place in consideration. The wire lengths are about 95 feet from power source to motors. |

I think you are talking about inductive current and reverse EMF. I don't know the theory, however placing a grounded conductor or shield around the conductors will cancel or nuetralize out magnetic fields - and thus inductance. Check with an electrical engineer, your solution and proper installation may be as simple as providing a shield or conductive conduit around the conductors. You may not have a issue at all...
