  • Product Details

Product Standards
The design, manufacturing, and testing of these cables strictly adhere to international and authoritative industry standards, ensuring broad applicability across global PV projects:
German TUV Standard: Compliant with 2PfG 1169/08.2007 (Standard for Photovoltaic Cables).
European Standard: Compliant with EN 50618:2014 (Requirements for Photovoltaic Cables).


Product Structure and Material Characteristics

Anti-oxidation Conductor: The conductor is made of high-purity electrical-grade tinned copper wire. The tin layer effectively prevents the oxidation of copper in humid outdoor environments while enhancing the wire's soldering performance and corrosion resistance.
Double-layer Cross-linked Insulation Structure: Both the insulation and sheath layers utilize Low-Smoke Zero-Halogen Cross-linked Polyolefin (LSZH XLPO) materials. This material provides superior dielectric strength and mechanical physical properties, and it produces minimal smoke without toxic halogen gases during combustion.
Eco-friendly Design: The product is fully compliant with RoHS environmental directives, demonstrating excellent ecological attributes.


Operating Characteristics & Performance Advantages

Wide Temperature Range Operation: The cable functions stably within an ambient temperature range of -40°C to +90°C. The maximum operating temperature of the conductor can reach 120°C, and it can withstand an instantaneous short-circuit temperature rise of 200°C (for up to 5 seconds).
Voltage Adaptability: Supports a rated voltage of AC 0.6/1kV; in DC systems, it supports power transmission of DC 1.5kV (to ground) and DC 1.8kV (line-to-line).
Superior Flexibility: Features excellent cold-bending and cold-winding performance, allowing for a minimum bending radius of not less than 4 times the cable's outer diameter, which greatly facilitates flexible wiring within photovoltaic arrays.
Ultra-long Service Life: Tailored to the investment cycles of PV power plants, the product is designed with an expected service life of no less than 25 years, significantly reducing long-term maintenance costs for the system.


Core Application Areas

This series is precision-tailored for the specialized requirements of photovoltaic power generation systems:
PV Array Connectivity: Used for DC current transmission between photovoltaic modules (panels) and between modules and combiner boxes.
System DC Trunk Lines: Suitable for power delivery between PV arrays and inverters, supporting installation environments that meet Class II safety level requirements.
All-Terrain Environmental Coverage: With its outstanding resistance to ozone, UV, acids, and alkalis, it is widely applicable in various harsh geographical conditions, including high altitudes, deserts, and coastal salt spray.
