Why is terminal voltage lower than nominal voltage?
What will be an ideal response?
The actual voltages present in different parts of the electrical distribution system, however, are different because of voltage drops of electrical feeder and branch circuit conductors. Motor terminal voltages are rated slightly less than the nominal system voltages to compensate for the electrical distribution system voltage drops. That way, when the voltage drops of the feeders and branch circuits are deducted from the nominal supply voltage, the terminal voltage rating listed on the motor nameplate will be closer to the actual voltage levels present in the electrical distribution system where the motor is installed.
