Do you have a video explaining calculation of power needed and devices, for example I am using beam detectores with a Potter AFC-100 Panel, so I need to know if I need Power Boosters and how many. Thank you.

Hey nice tutorial, you've taken on a lot. Question that bothers me. If I have an auxiliary output on panel, how do we account for the current of the wiring's voltage drop? It is not accounted for in the voltage drop. The out put of the relay is given is the internal mA for that driver on battery calcs. But what about the calculation of the current consumed by a wire on a long run, it is not insignificant. For example I am driving a hornstrobe off of a control module. Say with 14GaFPLR which is about 3 Ohms/1000 feet. So for simplicity sake I am driving a an outdoor horn-strobe 1000ft away. Then my 24V source and 3 OHM voltage drop give so assuming we de-rate20% to 20.4V like a Nac using OHMS law we have 6.8 Amps of current draw. This is ignoring our device. That 6.8 amps is not accounted for in a battery calculation anywhere. So when we size a battery, will it run on battery backup for the designed time? I wonder if they do. According to ohms law probably not. Unless I'm missing something, most fire alarm calculations out there do not account for this I think. Am I wrong? I'm not sure where manufacturers come up with these 6,000ft numbers everyone runs with. Thanks in advanced. JT

Hi John, first I also like to thank you for your time watching one of my videos, and please continue doing that so that I could share more once I find time to do another video. Please note that I value all of the questions here as this is a way we share our ideas and experiences. In your question, I assume we are talking about having an addressable fire alarm system where our notification appliance devices are powered from the 24Vdc auxiliary output from FACP and controlling it using a control module. Let's say the derated voltage of Aux output is 20.4Vdc and your overall wiring resistance is 3 ohms, we are not calculating them by the direct formula of ohms law which gives us 6.8A as an additional load to note. Instead, it is always part of the procedure in calculating our voltage drop to know the load first of whichever output terminal we account for. In our case here, the load connected to our aux output is an external horn strobe. If its rated current is let's say 320mA and only one of it is connected, then that 320mA will be our flowing current to the 14GaFPLR cable that has a total resistance of 3 ohms instead of 6.8A. The same 320mA will then need to be added to our batter calc as an additional load. And to know the voltage drop from your cable, .320Ax3ohms will give us 0.96V which means, only 20.4V - 0.96V= 19.44Vdc is delivered to the external horn strobe which is still acceptable as most UL notification appliance has an operating voltage range from 16-33Vdc. Hope this helps. Thank you again, John.

@@AllaboutFireProtection so how can we you ignore the effects of the wire at such long distances. So if I have a 20v battery attach 1000ft of wire it pulls no current? The FA manufactured give us a max distance calculations are convoluted. My concern is that this current never gets added to the battery calcs. I always upgrade my batter calcs a size above calcs.
