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
The minimum acceptable voltage is calculated as follows: 24.0 VAC
21.6 (Minimum Acceptable Voltage)
The minimum acceptable voltage used to create Table D was 21.6 volts. Therefore, the
