Cable trays

Introduction

Once you have completed the inverter configuration and assigned the strings, you can define the cable trays. These will be used as paths for the cabling. 
The Cable trays tab, in the Electrical design menu, provides a variety of configuration options according to your needs. 
The first option allows you to either show or hide the cable tray labels, by clicking Enabled or Disabled.

Cable tray setup

In the Setup section, you can specify the following parameters:

• Segment length
• Thickness
• Height
• Width 

To understand the function of a specific parameter, simply click on its respective field. This action will highlight the parameter in the accompanying image on the right.

To modify a parameter, introduce the desired value in the field and press Enter.

To specify the width of the cable trays, you have three options to choose from:

• Auto-adjust

• Custom 

To see more details about each option, hover over the Information icon. 

Depending on the option you choose, you may have additional fields to fill in: 

• Fixed width: You must define the value.
• Custom width: You can specify the maximum number of cables per tray and the tray width for each.

Finally, you can define the distance between parallel trays in Gap between trays. 

Once you’ve completed setting up your cable trays, it’s time to include them in your drawing.
