2.7 Wiring Specifications
2.7.1 Length Limitations
This section contains information on calculating SBUS wire distances and the types of wiring configurations (Class A and B).
2.7.2 Calculating Wiring distance for SBUS modules
The following instructions will guide you in determining the type of wire and the maximum wiring distance that can be used with SBUS
accessory modules.
To calculate the wire gauge that must be used to connect SBUS modules to the panel, it is necessary to calculate the total worst case cur-
rent draw for all modules on a single 4-conductor bus. The total worst case current draw is calculated by adding the individual worst case
currents for each module. The individual worst case values are shown in the table below.
* All devices must use the same SBUS and VBUS.
** When doing wire calculations, use .080 amps per device with .105 amps for the last device.
After calculating the total worst case current draw, Table 2.6 specifies the maximum distance the modules can be located from the panel
on a single wire run. The table insures 6.0 volts of line drop maximum. In general, the wire length is limited by resistance, but for heavier
wire gauges, capacitance is the limiting factor.
NOTE:
Total worst case current draw on a single SBUS cannot exceed 1 amp. If a large number of accessory modules are required, and the
worst case current draw will exceed the 1 amp limit, then the current draw must be distributed using 5895XL Power Expanders. Each 5895XL
Power Expander provides an additional SBUS, with an additional 1 amp of SBUS current. Wiring distance calculations are done separately for
each 5895XL, and separately for the panel itself.
