Codes Description

Input data
D One way distance
UC Rated control voltage
κ Conductivity of the conductor material [copper]
A Conductor cross section
S Pickup power of the Relay
P Rated sealing current of the Relay

C Relay current at pickup

Uw Approx. Voltage drop of wire @ 90ºC [as per wire datasheet]

Drop Voltage Calculation

Uwt Total Voltage drop of wire on actual distance

Upwt Percentage Voltage drop of wire on actual distance

URmax Maximum Percentage voltage drop

Relay response on start command
�_𝑚𝑎𝑥=(((𝑈_(𝑅𝑚𝑎𝑥 ) 𝑥
Dmax Maximum line length (one-way distance) 𝑈_𝑐 )/100)𝑥 1000)/(𝐶 𝑥
𝑈_𝑤 )

Capacitance Calculation

lperm@50 Maximum permissible control cable lengths @50Hz

lperm Maximum permissible control cable lengths @60Hz

With 60Hz networks the values must be reduced by 20%.
