Interconnecting Cables
Interconnecting cable conductor size is dependent upon the distance between the control, switches, and potential transformers. Maximum lengths of various cable combinations for No. 18 through No. 12 AWG conductors are shown in Table 2. The longest combination for the particular installation will determine the minimum conductor size. All cables are to be the same conductor size.
Note: If the control is equipped with the fault block accesso- ry, see Table 3 for additional cable length limitations.
On the switch end, the cables are wired to connector plugs provided as standard with the switches. On the S control end, the cables are wired either directly to terminal blocks in the control or to connector plugs provided with the Plugs and Receptacles accessory. Figure 9 shows the location of the accessory plugs and receptacles in the bottom of the control cabinet. See the appropriate switch installation manual for the location of the plugs and receptacles on the switch.
