Requirements on the SPS OUT AC cable for connection to the inverter

The cable length and quality affect the quality of the signal. Observe the following cable requirements:

• Conductor type: copper wire

• Permissible temperature: at least 90°C (194°F)

• The conductors must be solid or stranded wire.

• Conductor cross-section: 1.5 mm² to 2.5 mm² (16 AWG to 14 AWG)

• Insulation stripping length: 6 mm

• Nominal voltage: at least 600 V

• Maximum length of conductors: 30 m (98 ft)

• The conductors with regards to their ampacity, rated temperatures, operating conditions and power loss must be made in accordance with the local standards and the National Electrical Code^® ANSI/NFPA 70. If the manufacturer (SMA Solar Technology AG) requires a higher conductor cross-section than the standard, the range of the manufacturer must be observed.
