8 Cable Diameter (30V DC) and
Transmission Distance
16
The recommended transmission distances are for reference only, and the actual
conditions shall prevail. The following table shows the maximum transmission
distance of cables with certain diameter when the 30V DC power source
voltage loss rate is below 20%.
For devices powered by direct current, the maximum voltage loss rate allowed
is 20%. For example, when a device of 150W rated power is installed 45 feet (14
m) away from the transformer, the minimum diameter needed is 0.80 mm.
In the following table, the unit for diameter is mm, and the unit for transmission
distance is foot (m).
