Good morning all,
I have ran into an application that seems odd to me, but would like some input. I have a project that calls for (5) 120-volt, 400W quad pole fixtures on 25' poles. Each pole is shown on its own circuit. Distance to the first pole is 120', then 70' increments from there. The drawings show installing #8's from the building to the first pole for ALL 5 circuits. Then #10's to the next two poles for the next 4 circuits, and finally #12's to the last two poles for the final two circuits.
I know you can downsize the cable, but this application does not seem right to me since each pole is on it's own circuit back to the source. My calculation shows #8's to the first pole, first circuit, then all remaining to be #6's. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
