Table 8 - Conductor Properties
Need the DC uncoated copper and aluminum K values for voltage drop calculations.

Table 9 - AC Resistance and Reactance for 600V Cables, 3PH, 60Hz, 75°C
Need to add R and Xl for copper and aluminum conductors to calculate Voltage Drop

Chapter 9, Table 8, Note 2 for resistance changes due to temperature.

I propose we perform adjustments based on conductor insulation rating because as the conductor heats up, the resistance also increases. Assuming resistance values for the full rating of the conductor insulation will ensure we are taking a conservative approach for all use cases of that conductor.

Need to add power factor adjustments to effective Z in order to properly calculate voltage drop off unity power factor.
