INSTALLERS INFORMATION

 

 

The table below lists the a.c. and the d.c. minimum wire size requirements.  At distances exceeding 10 
feet, the d.c. wire size should be chosen to keep the voltage difference between the unit's terminals 
and the battery at less than 1/2 volt when the unit is fully loaded.  If the distance between the unit 
and the battery exceeds 10 feet, use the Power Cabling Formulas to determine wire size.
