Deye 8kW AC Cable Sizing
Thanks for all of the advice, I will rather then pay the extra bucks and get the 10mm cable then Question 1 The passthrough rating, does that mean that the whole house load, passes through the inverter? Question 2 This is the installation components that I found of a website of a reputable solar/ aircon company They are offering the exact same inverter like mine, also 8KW They are using 6mm cable 15m lengths, paired with 50A and 40A breakers in the combiner box And they are issueing a COC for the installation is this legal?

Thanks Dennis The 6mm wire is used for input and output This is the inverter specs Max AC input current 40A Max AC output current 38.3A Would you still suggest a 10mm for the input?

Deye 8kW AC Cable Sizing
Hi everyone, I recently purchased a Deye 8kW hybrid inverter (2025 model) and I have a question regarding the cable sizing used during the installation. The Issue: The Deye manual specifies that a 10mm² twin and earth wire is required, paired with 50A breakers. However, ive heard a few electricians say that 6mm² twin and earth (Nominal amp rating 51A) will work fine. Planned Installation method: Cable Length: +/- 20m each way (Input and Output). Mounting: Running in the roof inside, each in their separate 20mm conduits, clamped to the roof beams. Breakers: 40A breakers at the combiner box, and 50A breakers in the main DB. Load: A CT clamp is installed, so the full household load is not passing through the inverter. My Questions: Given the 20m distance and conduit setup, do you agree that the 6mm² wire is sufficient? I’ve heard suggestions to limit the max output to 7000W to prolong the lifespan of the inverter and reduce stress on the wiring. Is this recommended? Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
