2.4.2 Magnet Coil
Wiring
Typical magnet coil wiring is shown in FIGURE 2-3. The connecting cable used should
be of sufficient gage to prevent excessive voltage drop and heat rise in the cable. The
cables should be as short as possible to minimize the voltage drop. Current carrying
capacities for various sizes of cables and cable lengths are shown in TABLE 3-3. The
connections must be made with the correct size of hardware for the magnet terminal.
We recommend the use of a spring or Belleville washer for cable terminations. When
the parts of a connection expand and contract with changes in temperature, they
tend to loosen. A spring washer will reduce this tendency.
