6.3 System components
6.3.1 Wires
The cross section (also known as diameter or gauge) of the wires to be used will
depend on the length of the wire run and the rated voltage of your wind generator.
After deciding on a location, measure the distance from the top of the mast to the
battery and select the minimum cross section required as provided in the table below.
In order to keep power loss to a minimum and maintain safety, never use wires with
under-sized cross sections.
Cables with insufficient cross sections can heat up and cause a fire!
All values given in the tables below are based on a voltage drop of 3%.
