What cable is needed to connect a 4.5 kW generator?
Hello. I install a 4.5 kilowatt generator for a country house. I plan to make a generator connection outside the house and bring it out of the shed as needed. Question: Which cable is best used for connecting? The distance from the cross over switch inside the house to the intended connection point on the street is about 10 meters. Thank.

Good afternoon! If the cable is stretched through the air, then you need to choose a self-supporting cable that will not undergo stretching - that is, any cable from the range that is structurally equipped with a cable. For example, SIP or ABT wire. You can also choose a conventional cable that does not have protection against stretching - in this case, the cable must be pulled by hanging from the cable.
For a power of 4.5 kW, a cross-section of 2.5 square meters is enough. mm for copper cable or 4 square meters. mm for aluminum cable.
