2.3 Wire Size
The wiring and installation methods must conform to all national and local electrical
code requirements.
PV Wire Size
Since PV array output can vary due to the PV module size, connection method or
sunlight angle, the minimum wire size can be calculated by the Isc
*
of PV array.
Please refer to the value of Isc in the PV module specification. When PV modules
connect in series, the Isc is equal to a PV modules Isc. When PV modules connect in
parallel, the Isc is equal to the sum of the PV modules’Isc. The Isc of the PV array
must not exceed the controller’s maximum PV input current. Please refer to the table
as below:
NOTE: All PV modules in a given array are assumed to be identical.
*Isc=short circuit current(amps) Voc=open circuit voltage.
*These are the maximum wire sizes that will fit the controller terminals.
CAUTION: When the PV modules connect in series, the open circuit
voltage of the PV array must not exceed 46V (XTRA**06N), 92V
(XTRA**10N) , 138V (XTRA**15N) at 25℃ environment temperature.
Battery and Load Wire Size
The battery and load wire size must conform to the rated current, the reference size
as below:
