Cable length, wire gauge and power conditioning devices play a major role in the performance of your IMS Driver and Motor.
NOTE: The length of the DC power supply cable to the IMS Driver should not exceed 50 feet.
Example A demonstrates the recommended cable configuration for DC power supply cabling under 50 feet long. If cabling of 50 feet or longer is required, the additional length may be gained by adding an AC power supply cable (see Examples B & C).
Correct AWG wire size is determined by the current requirement plus cable length. Please see the IMS Driver Supply Cable AWG Table in this Appendix.
