Power Supplies Wire Gauge Chart 10 Series ® Determining Wire Gauge Example: Power supply voltage equals 12 volts. Load equals 3 electromagnetic locks. Each lock requires 0.280 amps of current. Total current draw equals (3 x 0.280 = 0.840 amps). Round off current to 1 Amp. (Always round off in an upward direction.) Distance from farthest electromagnetic lock equals 100 feet. Use the 12V chart and locate the 1.00 Amp column along the top of the chart. Select the distance in left column closest to the distance of the farthest lock. The wire gauge required can be found by cross referencing the rows vertically and horizontally. (#14 AWG). Total One Way Length of Wire Run (ft.)

Schum Types of Wire: Hookup wire is available in both solid and stranded wire types. Stranded wire is the accepted standard for system hookup as it is more flexible and less likely to break. It’s made of several small-diameter wires twisted together to form one larger-diameter conductor. To prevent the strands from separating, stranded wire is usually tinned (solder applied to ends of wire). This makes connections easier and prevents the wire from fraying. ZL10WGC Wire Gauge: Wire is given a gauge number to classify it by its size or thickness. American wire gauge (AWG) is the most common measurement for electrical wire size – the lower the wire gauge number, the larger the wire diameter and the greater the current carrying capability. Wire Insulation: The wire insulation should be UL or CSA approved for the maximum voltage to which the wire will be subjected. Normally, the wire rating is three to six times greater than the maximum voltage to be applied to the wire. ©2013 Rutherford controls • www.rutherfordcontrols.com USA: 2517 SQUADRON COURT, SUITE 104, VIRGINIA BEACH, VA 23453 • Canada: 210 shearson crescent, cambridge, on n1t 1j6 PHONE • 1.800.265.6630 • 519.621.7651 • FAX: 1.800.482.9795 • 519.621.7939 • e-mail: sales@rutherfordcontrols.com R03/13CA
