Could you please elaborate on the concept of voltage drop and explain what factors contribute to its occurrence? Additionally, how does one typically measure or calculate the amount of voltage drop in a given system, and what range is considered acceptable or problematic for optimal performance? I'm particularly interested in understanding the implications of voltage drop on cryptocurrency mining operations and how it can impact energy efficiency and profitability.

Voltage drop in electrical circuits is a critical factor affecting their efficiency. According to the National Electrical Code, a 5% voltage drop at the farthest receptacle in a branch wiring circuit is considered acceptable for standard performance.
