Wire Run Sizing

Use the table below to determine high voltage wire size requirements.
Distance shown in the chart is measured from the operator to the power source.
'
If power wiring is greater than the maximum distance shown, a service feeder is recommended.
'
When large gauge wire is used, a separate junction box must be installed for the operator connection.
'
Wire table is based on stranded copper wire. Wire run calculations are based on a 120 VAC power
'
source with a 3% voltage drop on the power line, plus an additional 10% reduction in distance to allow
for other electrical losses in the system.
