Routing the cables

Route the generator cable away from other cable routes. It is recommended that the generator
cable, grid cable and control cables are installed on separate trays. Avoid long parallel runs
of generator cables with other cables in order to decrease electromagnetic interference
caused by the rapid changes in the converter output voltage.
Where control cables must cross power cables make sure they are arranged at an angle
as near to 90° as possible. Do not run extra cables through the converter.
The cable trays must have good electrical bonding to each other and to the grounding
electrodes. You can use aluminum tray systems to improve local equalizing of potential.
