Notes:

Max Distance = distance from SPS to last appliance.

This table is calculated at 49 degrees Centigrade.

Distances are based on a 3V drop, and take into account the worst-case panel output voltage. These distances are based on the worst case of having one single load at the furthest point.

If circuit integrity wire is used instead of housing cable in a fire rated enclosure, reduce wiring distances by 12 m for every 3 m of potential exposure.
