Maximum distance for operating a load
MAXIMUM DISTANCE FOR OPERATING A LOAD
The distance at which the IIS Inverter will operate a load is determined by three things:
1) The wattage of the load
2) The voltage (120V or 277V)
3) The gauge of the wire
Below is a reference chart to help determine the distance (in feet) allowing for a 3% voltage drop.
