34 VG5 Installation & Quick-Start Manual
Wire and Terminal Screw Sizes (continued)
JST Closed Loop Connectors
Note 1:
The use of a JST closed-loop connector (lug) is recommended to maintain proper clearances. Please contact your Saftronics repre-
sentative for more information.
Note 2:
Voltage drop should be considered when determining wire size. Voltage drop can be calculated using the following equation:
Select a wire size so that voltage drop will be less than 2% of the normal rated voltage.
