( 24 - 13 ) x 1000 / 0,018 x 200 = 3055 mA = 3 A .... so the answer is : YES. And if the sounder operates with a minimum of 18 V ? Solution: ( 24 - 18 ) x 1000 / 0,018 x 200 = 1666 mA = 1,6 A .... so the answe is : NO. Dimensioning of the CONDUCTORS SECTIONS that supply a sensor or a call point Together with the choice of the battery capacity and the definition of the current suppliable by the supplier, the correct dimensioning of the cables sections allows the devices to have optimal tension values according with the regulations established by the manufacturer. Supplying a sensor or a call point with a lower tension than the minimum value stated means for the device a situation of instability, low efficiency, poor immunity to the noises. The following data must be considered: Example Voltage at Source M inimum voltage on sensor Refer to manufacturer data sheet or measured by Sensor current Ic a multimeter (in milliampere) NOTE: In the case of NOT self-powered devices must be used the higher absorption in the different conditions: Service, Stand-By, Alarm Line length L Segment of cable between the source and the sensor (in metres) 50 m 10 mA For a correct and preferable result consider a Vs critical situation as mains loss Vc Pointed out by the manufacturer data 24 V
13,5 V
Calculated the data, they can be insert in an easy formula to obtain the measure of the smallest cable section that is able to guarantee the optimal functioning: the minimum section, measured in mm2, must be equal or bigger than: Section = ( 2L x Ic x 0,038 ) : [ ( VS - Vc ) x 1000 ] EXAMPLE Section = (100 m x 10 mA x 0,038 ) : ( 24 V - 13,5 V) x 1000 ) = 0,0036 mm2 The cable for the installation must have the conductors section equal or bigger than 0,04 mm2 The method described can be used to dimension with a good approximation a more complex tension network, with ramifications. In this case it is enough to identify all the connection points from the source on, to effect the calculation for each single segment between two points and then summing all the results. IMPORTANT NOTE Take always into account the minimum sections given by the bodies of regulations that happen to be bigger than those obtained from the calculations.
