3.1.2 Cord Specification
Depending on the distance between the VTO and VTH, you need to select RVV4 cords of different
specifications.
Table 3-1 Cord specification
Transmission Distance (TD) RVV4 Cord Specification
TD ≤ 10 m RVV4 × 0.3 mm²
10 m < TD ≤ 30 m RVV4 × 0.5 mm²
30 m < TD ≤ 50 m RVV4 × 0.75 mm²
