YMVK Ground cable 2-core for solar panel installations
The YMVK ground cable 2-core is the ideal choice for connecting a single-phase inverter to the meter box, especially when the cable has to be buried in the ground. According to the NEN1010 standard, the ground cable should always be buried at a minimum depth of 50 cm.
This ground cable is equipped with an iron sheath and a ground lug, which ensures direct contact with the earth in case of accidental damage. The ground lug replaces the separate earthing conductor, making a 2-core ground cable sufficient to connect phase, neutral and earth for a single-phase inverter!
It is important to know that the earth titze has a braided core. In contrast to solid core wires, a connector is not suitable here, so use a Wago welding clamp. Simply identify the earth titze with green/yellow insulation tape.
Although XMVK ground cables also exist, we always recommend choosing YMVK ground cable because of better insulation and fire safety.
For longer distances, a thicker cable is needed to keep resistance low and prevent inverter interference. Use our handy Solar Panel Wiring Calculator: AC Wire Thickness to calculate the required wire thickness!
