8 APPENDIX Ⅲ THE 24V AC WIRE DIAMETER AND
TRANSMISSION DISTANCE RELATION TABLE
It is to recommend max transmission distance when the cable diameter is fixed and the 24V AC
voltage loss rate is below 10%. For the AC device, the max permission voltage power
consumption is 10%. For example, when a device of rated power 20W installed 141 inches (42m)
away from the transformer, then the min cable diameter needed is 0.8000mm.
