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

Total vA consumed
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 parentheses are
meters.
