Given: A compressor motor 1HP, 115V, 16 amps. It is connected to a receptical providing 120 volts with a 100` extention cord. Due to the load conditions, the maximum voltage drop is allowed during starting locked-rot or condition is 30% of motor voltage rating. Use 96 amps for locked-rotor current. Resistance equals impedence. Use resistance values in Table 8 & 9. What is the minimum size of uncoated copper?
