Wire and Cable Sizes
The copper wire sizes given in the tables are calculated for 3% power loss in wire resistance. This
is usually acceptable in low voltage installations. A larger wire size will increase the delivered
power but usually a compromise is reached as larger cables cost more. It is recommended that the
wire sizes given be taken as a minimum value.
Measure the distance from the top of your structure (i.e. the e300
iiii
) to the regulator. Select the
wire size for that distance from the table. The double run of +ve and -ve is already accounted
for.
The power cable should be run down the inside of the pole or structure and then buried in a
suitable underground conduit at least 500mm below the ground surface.
