12.5.5 Voltage at the end of the segment
The resistance of the cable causes a lower voltage at the end of the cable. At least 9V should be available for
the last device at the end of the cable. The following calculation is a ‘worst case’ scenario where all devices are
connected at the end of the cable:
Fig. 89 - Example of voltage calculation at the end of the cable
In this example the voltage at the end of the cable is 24 V - (0.05A * 44 * 1.5) = 20.7 V
