AC Utility Grid Connection

AC Utility Grid Connection

Cable size requirements for the String Inverter are dependant on the model:

HY 8.0 - minimum 4mm² - 6.7mm²

HY 10.0 - minimum 2.5mm² - 8.4mm²

The recommended maximum cable length should not exceed 50m as the resistance of the cable will consume inverter output power and reduce the inverter efficiency.
