    MultiLight Cable Size Calculator V1

    Uploaded by

    Van
    This document provides guidance on selecting the appropriate cable size for multi-light installations based on the number of lights and cable length. It contains two tables - one for installations where lights are evenly distributed along the cable, and one for installations where most lights are near the far end of the cable. The tables list maximum expected voltage drop at the cable end for different cable sizes, numbers of lights, and cable lengths.

    Multi-Light Cable Size Calculator

    1) Use the Table below which best describes your installation :


    a) Lights approximately evenly distributed along the cable (use Table 1) or
    b) Most of the lights are near the far end of the cable (use Table 2)
    2) The cable is colour coded for the correct cable size CSA. The numbers show the expected volt drop at the end of the cable.
