Example: 12V Voltage Drop & Wire Length Distance Chart
Determine load size. Let’s assume load
is 55 W. Round up to nearest load.
1
Determine distance from driver to load.
Let’s assume the distance is 20 ft.
2
It’s recommended to install 12 AWG to
eliminate excess voltage drop.
3
VOLTAGE DROP CHARTS
For best performance and lumen output, ensure proper wire gauge is installed to compensate for voltage drop of low voltage circuits.
