NOTE!
If shielded cables are used between the transformer and the inverter, then connect the shield to the protective earth (PE) at
both extremes of the cables.
Minimum cable insulation voltage:
Table 10.8: Minimum insulation voltage of the power cables
Rated voltage [V] Minimum Insulation Voltage [V]

3600 / 6000
3300
6000 / 10000
4160
6000 / 10000
6900
8700 / 15000
Commercial examples:
Belden: 37540.
Cofiban: Cofialt 7 kV (without shield).
Pirelli: Eprotenax 6/10 kV.
Ficap: Fibep or EPDry 6/10 kV.
Use proper terminations for the power connections as well as for the shield connections to the ground bar.
Tighten the connections with the appropriate torque.
