Table B. 24 VAC Wiring Distances
The following are the recommended maximum distances for 24
VAC applications and are calculated with a 10-percent voltage
drop. (Ten percent is generally the maximum allowable voltage
drop for AC-powered devices.)

EXAMPLE:
An enclosure that requires 80 vA and is
installed 35 feet (10 m) from the transformer would require a
minimum wire gauge of 20 AWG.
NOTE:
Distances are calculated in feet; values in parenthe-
ses are meters.
