Wire Sizes and Lengths for the Power Input and Power Output of the RP Controller Expansion Modules

This section provides recommendations on wires sizes and lengths for the power input and power output (power distribution) of the RP controller expansion modules.

The recommendations apply to the following RP controller expansion modules:

  • Power input: All models (supporting 230 VAC or 100-277 VAC).

  • Power output: Models with power distribution: RP-C-EXT-DALI-M-PD, RP-C-EXT-0-10V-4-PD, RP-C-EXT-BL-4-HV-PD, RP-C-EXT-BL-SMI-4-HV-PD, and RP-C-EXT-REL-4.

The recommendations are for guidance only. Other wire sizes and lengths may be used, depending on wiring rules and when appropriate.

Table: Wire Sizes and Lengths for the Power Input and Power Output of the RP Controller Expansion Modules

Terminals

Minimum Cross-sectional Area

Maximum Cable Length

Power input terminals (N, PE, L)

0.75 mm² (18 AWG) a or larger according to local wiring rules

According to local wiring rules

Power output b terminals (N, PE, L)

0.75 mm² (18 AWG) a or larger according to local wiring rules

According to local wiring rules

  1. Use wires rated for at least 75 °C (167 °F).
  2. Power distribution. Same voltage as supplied at the power input.
