4.3.2 Wiring distances
Table 9 and Table 10 list the maximum distances from the NAC terminal block to the last appliance in a Class A and Class B configuration,
depending on wire gauge and current. Use Table 9 and Table 10 to calculate the wire distances for your application.

Note:
• Max distance = distance from the power supply to last appliance.
• This table is calculated at 49°C (120°F). If you are installing in locations with higher temperatures than 49°C (120°F), refer to NEC Table
8.
• Distances are based on a 3 V drop, and take into account the worst-case panel output voltage.
• If you use circuit integrity wire instead of housing cable in a fire-rated enclosure, reduce the wiring distances by 38 ft (12 m) for every
10 ft (3 m) of potential exposure.
