Ohmic Losses with Different Material Conductor

[AKSolar]

It is a pretty standard arrangement these days to have copper string wiring and aluminum conductors from comber boxes to inverters. Is there a way to specify different materials for the different sections?

[André Mermoud]

No, it is not possible in the present time. We will think about this proposition.

However the part "Detailed computation" is only a quick tool for the estimation of wiring resistances.

The parameter waited by the simulation is only the equivalent resistance of the wires of the circuit.

For complex circuits, you can evaluate this global resistance by your own calculations, and just put the resulting resistance as parameter.
