Restrictions
Refer to the power extend converter instruction manual (UM565050) for wire sizing restrictions.
Refer to Table 4 for spacing and power restrictions. This table shows how many converters can be placed side
by side before skipping a single space at certain average power levels and in specific distribution row positions.
These power levels pertain to the average output power (busy hour average power) drawn by the load
including any power loss in the cable. The peak power available from each unit remains at 1000 watts
regardless of spacing or location.
