Install the Transmission Cables-
Follow the table below to select the correct wire size
(cross-sectional area). This will vary depending on your nominal battery voltage and the
distance that the cables will be run. Careful selection of the cable size is required. It will
not only affect the safety of the system, but also the overall efficiency. A cable of
insufficient cable size will cause a voltage drop, wasting the power that has been
generated. The cable sizes listed below have been selected with efficiency and cost in
mind, as it is unlikely that your turbine will be running at full capacity 100% of the time. If
in doubt, consult your local electrical supplier. The cable should be installed in accordance
with local electrical regulations and guidelines. If in doubt, use a local electrical contractor
to complete the cable installation. Once the transmission cable installed, it can be
connected to the LE-v50.
Warning: If a cable of insufficient cross-sectional area is used, heat will build up in the cables
causing a potential fire hazard. Cable capacities quoted below are based upon ‘Tri
-
Rated’ cables
(BS6231).
