Maximum One-way Distance and Wire Size
NOTE: NEC article 690 and local electrical codes should be consulted for wire
sizing and any additional installation requirements. For a C60 use a 60 amp,
100% Continuous Duty breaker and #6 AWG, 90 °C wire. Larger wire sizes
may be used to improve performance, but are NOT approved by UL to be
installed in the controller (use a splicer block as previously described on
page 13 of this manual). Match the breaker to the wire if using larger
gauge wire.
Refer to Table 4 and find your maximum current in the left column, and the
one way distance from your power source (feet/meters) to the C-Series controller
(or the distance from the C-Series controller to your load) on the same line, then
read the wire size required at the top of the column.
The wiring, over-current protection devices (fuses and circuit breakers) and
installation methods used must conform to all national and local electrical codes
requirements.
Wiring should be protected from physical damage with conduit or a strain
relief clamp. You should pull the temperature sensor cable through the conduit
first as the connector may not fit if other wires have been pulled first.
As a minimum, a 60 amp DC rated current limiting fuse or circuit breaker
should be provided near the battery for protection from short circuits. To meet
NEC requirements, use a 60 amp circuit breaker listed for 100% duty for the C60.
To meet UL requirements, use #6 AWG copper wires rated for 90 °C for the C60.
