Requirements for the AC Connection
AC cable requirements as follows:
☐ Conductor type: copper wire
☐ External diameter: 8 mm to 21 mm
☐ Conductor cross-section: 1.5 mm² to 6 mm²
☐ Insulation stripping length: 12 mm
☐ Sheath stripping length: 50 mm
☐ The cable must be dimensioned in accordance with the local and national directives for the
dimensioning of cables. The requirements for the minimum wire size derive from these
directives. Examples of factors influencing cable dimensioning are: nominal AC current, type of
cable, routing method, cable bundling, ambient temperature and maximum desired line losses
(for calculation of line losses, see the design software "Sunny Design" from software
version 2.0 at www.SMA-Solar.com).
