Selection and Calculation of 3. Photovoltaic Cable

The selection of cable section shall meet the requirements of allowable temperature rise, voltage loss, mechanical strength, etc. The DC system cable shall be selected according to the long-term allowable current carrying capacity of the cable and verified according to the allowable voltage drop of the cable. The calculation formula is as follows:
Long-term allowable ampacity by cable: Ipc>= Ical
According to the allowable voltage drop of the circuit: Scac = P˙ 2LIca/△Up
In the formula: Ipc ---- allowable ampacity of cable, A;
Ica ---- calculated current, A;
Ical ---- calculated current for long-term operation of the loop, A;
Scac-calculated section of cable, mm2;
P ---- resistance coefficient, copper conductor P = 0.0184Ω · mm2/m, aluminum conductor P = 0.0315Ω · mm2/m;
L ---- cable length, m;△ Up ---- allowable voltage drop of circuit, v.







Note: The current carrying capacity of the cable is greatly affected by the laying method and the surrounding environment, and the voltage drop of the cable is greatly affected by the length of the cable, so the current carrying capacity can be considered as the value that the cable can never exceed in long-term operation. It is best to select the cable according to 70% ~ 80% of the current carrying capacity of the cable to effectively ensure the temperature rise and voltage drop of the line.
