Appendix A Specifications
Relays Used vs. Maximum Current per Relay (24V DC) 1762-OX6I
(1) The continuous current per module must be limited so the module power does not exceed 1440VA.
(2) 6 A in ambient temperatures above 40 °C (104.°F)
(3) Surge Suppression – Connecting surge suppressors across your external inductive load will extend the life of
the relay contacts. For additional details, refer to Industrial Automation Wiring and Grounding Guidelines,
publication 1770-4.1.
(4) DC Make/Break Voltamperes must be limited to 50 VA for DC voltages between 28V DC and 125V DC. DC
Make/Break Voltamperes below 28V DC are limited by the 7 A Make/Break current limit.
