Cable Sizing
The cable cross-section should be dimensioned so output losses do not exceed 1% at nominal power.
Maximum cable lengths relative to the cable cross-section are shown in the following table:
The conductor cross-sectional area required in individual cases depends on the following factors,
among others:
• Ambient temperature,
•Routing method,
•UV resistance,
•Conduction losses,
• Valid installation guidelines of the respective country (of the installation location).
