CONNECTING START CIRCUIT
WIRES
Control system interconnections (Figure 2.5) consist
of UTILITY 1 and 2, LOAD 1 and 2; and leads 23 and
194. Control system interconnection leads must be
run in a conduit that is separate from the AC power
lead. Recommended wire gauge sizes for this wiring
depends on the length of the wire, as recommended
below:
MAXIMUM WIRE LENGTH
460 feet (140m)
461 to 730 feet (223m)
731 to 1,160 feet (354m)
1,161 to 1,850 feet (565m)
The preceding start circuit connections apply to
the standard 2-wire start system only Your transfer
switch may be equipped with a 3-wire connection
system.
