                 Voltage  |

                 Voltage (of a circuit)  | 
              
                 The greatest root-mean-square (rms) (effective)
                difference of potential between any two conductors of the
                circuit concerned.

                 Voltage Drop  | 
              
                 The loss of voltage between the input to a
                device and the output from a device due to the internal
                impedance or resistance of the device. In all electrical
                systems, the conductors should be sized so that the voltage drop
                never exceeds 3% for power, heating, and lighting loads or
                combinations of these. Furthermore, the maximum total voltage
                drop for conductors for feeders and branch circuits combined
                should never exceed 5%.

                 Voltage to Ground  | 
              
                 For grounded circuits, the voltage between the
                given conductor and that point or conductor of the circuit that
                is grounded; for ungrounded circuits, the greatest voltage
                between the given conductor and any other conductor of the
                circuit.

                 Voltage, Nominal  | 
              
                 A nominal value assigned to a circuit or system
                for the purpose of conveniently designating its voltage class
                (e.g., 120/240 volts, 480Y/277 volts, 600 volts). The actual
                voltage at which a circuit operates can vary from the nominal
                within a range that permits satisfactory operation of equipment.

                voltage ratio of a transformer is the ratio of the r.m.s.
                primary terminal voltage to the r.m.s. secondary cur-rent, under
                specified conditions of load.
