VOLTAGE DROP CHARTS
For best performance and lumen output, ensure proper wire gauge is installed to compensate for voltage drop of low voltage circuits.
Example: 24V Voltage Drop & Wire Length Distance Chart
Wire 10 W 20 W
Gauge .42 A .83 A
22 AWG 53 ft. 27 ft.
18 AWG 134 ft. 68 ft.
16 AWG 215 ft. 109 ft.
14 AWG
345 ft. 174 ft.
12 AWG 539 ft. 272 ft.
10 AWG
784 ft. 397 ft.
It is recommended to install 12 AWG to
3
eliminate excess voltage drop.
