Cable and Wire Length Guidelines
Table 6 defines cable length guidelines for the various wire sizes for wiring low-voltage (<30 V) input and output
wiring.

30K cycles
EN 60730
240 VAC 3A resistive, 3A inductive,
Cos(phi) = 0.6, -20° to 70°C
(-4 to 158°F), 100K cycles
The RELAY output terminals can
accommodate the following maximum
wire sizes:
Two wires per terminal: 1.5 mm
2
(16 AWG) maximum
or
One wire per terminal: 2.5 mm
2
maximum (12 AWG or 2–16 AWG)
Note:
You must determine the
required
wire size for the high-voltage
(>30 V) terminals according to relay
ratings, the applied load, and the
local, national, or regional electrical
codes.
OCOMn
Relay Common
Isolated from all other terminal
commons, including other Relay
Commons.
Note:
Reference all relay commons
to the same pole of the supply circuit.
