Formula for calculating the cross section area of a DC power cable: S=2*I*L/(57*
∆
U)
Where,
I: Current in amperes.
L: Length of the power cable in meters.
∆
V: Voltage drop on the power cable from the power distribution frame (PDF) to the firewall, usually, 3.2
V.
S: Cross section area of the power cable in square millimeters.
Connection procedure
Follow these steps to connect the DC power cables:
