Requirements for the PV cables


The following requirements apply only to the PV+ and PV- cables. For grounding conductor, note that the requirements are different.

  • Conductor type: copper wire

  • Maximum cable length within the inverter: 180 mm (7.1 in)

  • Conductor cross-section: 2 mm² to 6 mm²

  • External diameter: 5 mm to 8 mm

  • Nominal voltage: at least 600 V

  • Insulation stripping length: 12 mm

  • The cables must be designed according to the local and national guidelines for the dimensioning of lines.
