    APPENDIX B: 24 VAC WIRE GAUGE AND TRANSMISSION DISTANCE APPENDIX B 24 Vac Wire Gauge and Transmission Distance The following table shows the recommended maximum distance adopted for the different wire sizes when the 24 Vac voltage loss is less than 10%. For the AC driven device, the maximum voltage loss rate allowable is 10%. For example, for a device with the rating power of 80 VA which is installed 35 feet (10 m) from the transformer, the minimum wire gauge required is 0.8000 mm.
