5.4 CABLES AND FUSES
The required cross section of the wires depends on their length and the rated voltage of your system.
Select the location of the mast and measure the distance from the mast top to the battery. Select the
minimum cross section required in the basis of the following tables. The three AC cables need to have
the same cross section.

For protection against high voltage spikes and/or an accidental short-circuit event, fuses must be
installed in the positive (red) wires to the battery. The required value of the fuse depends on the rated
current of the Silentwind generator and solar panels connected to the Hybrid Boost Charge Controller.
We recommend:
Silentwind generator
Max Current (A)
(Silentwind generator + Solar Panel)
Fuse (A)

40 + 20
50 + 25
