2.3 Wiring Requirements
24 / 48 Volt System, AWG / Metric Wire Size mm2
Caution 1: Any usage of under-sized wire can be potentially dangerous; our
warranty does not cover damages caused by using an incorrect wire gauge.
The distance from the MPPT to your turbine should not exceed more than 40
meters for safety reasons (Be sure to include the height of the turbine).
Caution 2: Please review the above wire gauge table to install the correct
wires. We recommend these as the minimum wire sizes for the distance from
the MPPT to your turbine for optimal performance. Always use the largest
gauge wires that are practical and affordable. Local, state, and/or national
electrical codes take precedence over these general recommendations.
The distance between the MPPT and the battery pack should be kept as low
as possible and shouldn’t be more than 3 m and the wire gauge used should
be 6 AWG or at-least 8 AWG.
