The relationship between voltage loss and solar cables in photovoltaic systems
1630484137

      The relationship between the voltage loss and the cable in the photovoltaic system can be seen from the formula: voltage loss = passing current * cable length * voltage factor. The voltage loss is proportional to the length of the cable. Therefore, the principle that the array to the inverter and the inverter to the grid-connected point should be as close as possible should be followed during field surveys. Generally, the DC line loss between the photovoltaic array and the inverter does not exceed 5% of the output voltage of the array, and the AC line loss between the inverter and the grid connection point does not exceed 2% of the output voltage of the inverter. The cable voltage drop formula can be used in the engineering application process: △U=(I*L*2)/(r*S)


       △U: cable voltage drop(V)

       I: The cable needs to withstand the maximum cable(A)

       L: Length of cable laying(m)

       S: the cross-sectional area of the cable(mm²)

       r: Conductivity of conductor-m/(Ω*mm²), r copper=57, r aluminum=34
