Laying Out This Wiring

[mstrlucky74]

The attached driver is to be used with the type L1 & L1A shown in the attached drawing.

In my mind it would make sense to keep the driver closer to the AC source and run the LV DC cable further. This seems more efficient, no? Thanks.

Also, can someone give me some insight into the wiring. So if I used the 3000 series driver that enable you to use one driver per ~60' LED run. So each 56' 9"(only referring to the L1 fixture) run would require one driver. So my understanding is that I would run 120v into the driver and LV cable out for the driver to the fixture and that would be typical for each 56' 9" run. Is that correct?

Thanks

If it were an air compressor, yes. But voltage drop on the secondary side will be higher for the same length/awg wire than the primary. Think of a service; would you rather have the xfmr 4,000' from the house, or 400'?

As to your second question: yes. I would try to get the driver closer so you are not near its length limit. Is 56'9" as the crow flies (perfectly straight), or would there wind up being several extra feet of wire in there so that it's not strung like a banjo?
