Quick Installation Guide for Solar Power Inverter M88H EU V3 EN 5013240202 02 2018-03-22

AC cable 

AC cable gland

The inverter has 1 AC cable gland with 1 cable feed-through.
Min./max. Cable diameter 

23.9 ... 65.9 mm

Notes on calculating the cable cross-section

Consider the following factors when calculating the cable diam-

eter: 

 

● Cable material

 

● Temperature conditions

 

● Cable length

 

● Installation type

 

● Voltage drop

 

● Loss of power in the cable

Always follow the installation regulations for AC cables applicable 

in your country.

France: Follow the installation instructions of UTE 15-712-1. This 

standard contains the requirements for minimum cable diameters 

and for avoiding overheating due to high currents. 

Germany: Follow the installation instructions of UTE VDE 0100-

712. This standard contains the requirements for minimum cable 

diameters and for avoiding overheating due to high currents. 

DC cables

DC cable gland

The inverter has 2 DC cable glands with 2 cable feed-throughs 

each.
Min./max. Cable diameter 

12.4 ... 25.7 mm

Instructions for the use of aluminum cables
