3.2.1 DC Cable Size
The tables below give the recommended cable/conductor cross-sectional area (mm²), and
recommended B & S size for a required current across a particular distance. In this case the
distance is between the battery and the inverter. It is recommended to choose a cable size
close to but larger than required.
NOTE: the cable cross-sectional area will need to be increased, (de-rated), should the cables
be bundled with other heat generating cables, thermally insulated or subjected to high ambient
temperatures.
