Am I doing something wrong? 1 of my questions you replied with, "we get this question everyday" and another I get linked to a rule about pms. What gives?

A Single phase formula:
(2xkxIxD)/cirmil=Voltage Drop
A 3 Phase formula
(1.73xkxIxD)/Cirmil=Voltage drop

No, that link is my signature line. I need to change that, lots of folks get confused.
