William,

You brought up a very important issue. We get sloppy about calculating
system losses. The more accurate we get with estimates, the more we know
about where the power is going. My experience is that we generally
underestimate wire losses in low voltage systems and over estimate them in
higher voltage systems. That being said, we almost always underestimate
system losses in general.

Bill.

Thanks, I stand corrected.
