Wiring
The proper use of wire and cable is necessary for the successful installation and operation of
the LightSYS system. It is important to select wire of the correct thickness to minimize power
loss and ensure reliable system operation. Take into account both the installation's current
requirements and the wiring distances involved. The following tables provide useful
information to help make your installation fault-free.
