• 60 m (200 ft) between external power supply and first inverter unit
• 30 m (100 ft) between BCU control unit and last inverter module in the chain.
Note:
The voltage at the INx terminals of each inverter control unit (or frame R8i inverter module)
must be at least 17 V DC to be interpreted as “1”.
