How is DC cable sizing and voltage drop calculated?

Easy PV returns the smallest cable cross-sectional area that achieves a voltage drop less than 1% of the voltage across the cable (or the largest cable if none do).

The voltage drop along a cable is the product of the current runningand throughresistance. itThe current is calculated in the inverter task and its resistance. Wewe calculate cable resistances using the stranding class 1 and 2 values from the IEC 60228/BS 6360 stranding chart. 

Example calculation
