SolarEdge StorEdge SE5000-xxS0 series Installation Manual page 28

Measure the necessary length between the StorEdge Connection Unit and the battery for all cables.
l
The maximum distance between the battery and the inverter is 35 ft/ 10m, when using 16AWG/
2
1.3mm cables for battery thermal power and 24AWG/0.2mm
Tie and wrap the cables t o avoid pulling them out during mounting.
l
Be sure to adhere to all safety cautions and information in the battery documentation.
l
The battery c onnects to the DC side of the inverter. Since the inverter DC connections are on its left
l
side, it is recommended to position the battery t o the left of the inverter to simplify wiring.
The following table and Figure 21 detail cable types and connections of one battery (Tesla PowerWall Type
B/B1). For additional battery types and connection options, refer to Additional Battery Connections on
