4.2.3 Considerations for Control Wiring
Control wiring refers to the wires connected to the control terminal strip. Select control wiring as
follows:
1. Shielded wire is recommended to prevent electrical noise interference from causing improper operation
or nuisance tripping.
2. Use only UL recognized wire.
3. Wire voltage rating must be at least 300 V for 230 Vac systems. It must be at least 600 V for 460 or
575 Vac systems.
See Table 4-3 below for a summary of control wiring specifications.
