Question
What should I be aware of when operating MY4 General-purpose Relays AC100V Relay from a distance?
Answer
The distance depends on the type and installation conditions of the cable. Wiring power supplies over a long distance in parallel with power lines may cause reset failure due to voltage generated at both sides of the Relays from float capacitance in the wires when the coil input power supplies are OFF. If reset failure occurs, connect bleeder resistors to both sides of the coil.

Guideline for Cable Length Limits
| Type | Relay coil | |
| AC Relays | ||
| Preconditions | Must-operate voltage of up to 90% of rated voltage allowed | |
| Calculation of cable length | Symbols |  |
| Formulas |  (Formula is applicable up to a cable length of 3 km.) | |
| Example: For MY4 Relays | 100 VAC, 60 Hz, MY4 with CW Cable Answer: Value exceeds 3,000 m so there is no problem with cables up to 3 km. | |

Other General Purpose Relays FAQ
-
The Relay does not operate even when voltage is applied. Why is this?
-
We were using G2R General Purpose Relay to turn a solenoid valve ON and OFF, and sparks at the contact damaged the relay after only about 3 months of use. What caused this, and what kind of countermeasure is there for it?
-
A Relay burned out. Why is this?
