You can use Table D as a guide to determine the necessary wire gauge (AWG) for various cable distances that provide 24 VAC power. Or use it in a reverse fashion to determine the maximum allowable cable distance for a particular wire gauge. Table D applies when using two-conductor copper wire with characteristics similar to West Penn 221-227 unshielded cable. Calculations are based on a 10-percent voltage drop (generally the maximum allowable drop for AC-powered devices).

The minimum acceptable voltage is calculated as follows:

24.0VAC

–02.4 (10%)

21.6(Minimum Acceptable Voltage)

The minimum acceptable voltage used to create Table D was 21.6 V. Therefore, the 24-V output has an acceptable range from 24 V down to 21.6 V; the 28-V output’s acceptable range is from 28 V down to 21.6 V.
