PVC insulated cable is not suitable for high temperature (above 100 ℃) or low temperature (20 ℃ below).

When laying the cable directly, the steel tape armored cable is applied when the cable is under greater pressure or the mechanical damage is dangerous.

The maximum operating current under the action of the cable core temperature shall not exceed the allowable value determined by the cable service life.

Determine the ambient temperature at which the cable is continuously allowed to load, and if the cable is laid in the air or in a cable trench, the average temperature of the hottest monthly day shall be taken.

3, the choice of cable path should comply with the following provisions

(1) To prevent the cable from mechanical forces, overheating, corrosion and other hazards.

(2) to meet the safety requirements to make the cable shorter.

Third, the selection of photovoltaic cable calculation

The selection of cable section should meet the requirements of allowable temperature rise, voltage loss, mechanical strength and so on, the DC system cable according to the cable long-term allowable load flow selection, and according to the cable allowable pressure drop check, the formula is as follows:

Long-term allowable load flow by cable: ipc>=ical

allowable voltage drop by loop: scac=p˙2lica/up

Type: Ipc----cable allowed to load, A;

ICA----compute Current, A;

Ical----loop for long-term work calculation current, A;

SCAC----Cable calculation section, mm2;
