Hi,
At home, I have both a 15kW AC wind turbine and a 1000V solar array in my garden. To decrease the cable losses between the generators and the inverters I am looking at installing a higher gauge wire.
I had spotted that it was cheaper to buy a 5-core cable as opposed to a 2-core and 3-core cable. So I wanted to check if it was safe/legal to use a 5-core cable.
In NEC 690.31B I saw it says that they should be separated by a partition. Would the insulation around the conductors be suitable for this?
Or should it be 2 cables (1 AC, 1 DC) installed in separate conduits?
Thank you for any help that can be offered with this.
