Cable Size Calculation (24 VDC Power Supply) : Min Max Omin Omax

The document calculates the maximum cable length needed to power a solenoid valve from a 24 VDC power supply. It determines the solenoid's power consumption, operating voltages and current draw. Based on the minimum operating voltage, it calculates the maximum cable resistance and then determines the maximum cable length for various cable sizes to ensure the solenoid receives sufficient power along the run. The analysis finds that a 1.5 mm^2 cable can power the solenoid over 4.5 km from the 24 VDC source.
