Product not yet used in an upcoming project. Expectations are very high for excellent results. Solid top quality cable from manufactured by Tycab at great prices. Designed to be used for powering caravan fridges and battery from the towing vehicle with minimal power loss and therefore burning out.
This is cheap for its quality. Highly recommend. Verified purchase: Yes Condition: new Sold by: mccdandenong. I will be buying this in the future for my solar panel and battery charging wiring instead of 6mm square cable. We'll take a look and remove the review if it doesn't follow our guidelines.

Trying to run a panel with an undersized cable can result in significant voltage drop. The amps produced won't really change, but the longer the cable to more the voltage drops.
As you increase cable length, you need to increase the cross sectional area of the cable mm2. Is doesn't matter how big or small the panel is, how well it performs or how efficient it is when it comes to voltage drop and small cables. If the cables are too small, you will get voltage drop. Whilst amps will stay mostly the same in a DC application, the more the voltage drops away, the lower the watts you get going into your battery.
I t is very important to have your cables sized correctly. Unfortunately, cables can be expensive as anyone who has hooked up an inverter can attest, a longer cable can often work out to be the same, or more, than the cost of the unit itself!
Unless you sell the stuff, install it or have regularly used it, being able to tell from a glance, work out the correct cable size needed, or even just deciphering what it is you're being told which is rare to begin with, often times the seller has no clue what size cable their own panels come with or if they are really rated to what the stickers says.
They neither describe the diameter, gauge or cross sectional surface area of the cable and are just an indicative number applied by cable makers rather than an accurate descriptor of the cable size as you can see from the table below. Here's a table showing each of the different cable sizes commonly used in 12v applications in Australia:. When sizing cables there is two requirements to take into account - current carrying capacity amps it can handle and length of cable in relation to voltage drop.
This is relevent not just to solar but for any cables for any electrical load. Take an example of a w solar panel that has a 5m cable. To avoid this voltage drop, you need to increase to the size of the whole cable to 8AWG which simply has more copper inside and can handle the power being transmitted down the cable.
Many panels on the market use 12AWG or even 14AWG which they have sized because it can handle the current, but given no thought to voltage drop.
Thats the equivalent of a panel that produces 18v at the junction box, but only So if you have a panel already, and are wondering why it isn't producing enough power to keep you running, first check that it is the number of watts stated , then have a look at the cable.
