Voltage drop
The max. cable length depends on the voltage drop in the supply voltage cables. The level
of voltage drop is determined by the:
}
Cable resistance on the supply voltage cables
}
Operating current of the modules
}
Load on the modules
To increase the max. cable length, the input voltage can be permanently increased by the
voltage tolerance (see Technical Details).
