Voltage drop is a common but often overlooked electrical issue in homes and businesses. It occurs when the voltage at the end of an electrical circuit is lower than at the source, which can affect the performance of appliances, cause flickering lights, and even pose safety risks. Many homeowners notice dimming lights, appliances that fail to operate properly, or tripping breakers without understanding that voltage drop could be the culprit.
