AC string inverter cables are the cables connecting the string inverters to either the Power Transformation Stations (PTS) (for string architecture) or AC combiner boxes (for string+ architecture).

These lengths are calculated automatically using AUTOPV’s advanced routing algorithms. By default the lengths include an additional 1 m per cable run as well as an additional 1% of the total length per cable run.

These tolerances can be set as advanced configuration settings that may not be available to all users.

Calculation

\[ L_{cable}=(L^{\prime}_{cable}+l_m) \times (1+l_{\text{%}}) \]

where:

\[\begin{align*} L^{\prime}_{cable}&=\text{Actual cable length} \\ l_m&=\text{Length correction applied to cable section in}\ m \\ l_{\text{%}}&=\text{Length correction applied to cable section in}\ \text{% of cable length} \\ \end{align*}\]
