Range overview

Solar PV Cables

Solar PV cable operates at up to 1500 V DC, in direct sunlight, at conductor temperatures that follow the irradiance curve every day for 25 years. ZMS builds PV1-F and H1Z2Z2-K constructions around tinned copper conductors, cross-linked insulation and a cross-linked XLPO sheath that is specified for continuous outdoor exposure.

Customisation

We can adapt this family to the project requirements. Common options include:

  • Cross-sections from 1.5 to 400 mm²
  • Red, black or blue sheath
  • Tinned or bare copper conductor
  • 2000 V DC rating option
  • Cut lengths and harness assembly
  • Customer marking on the sheath

Performance

Weather and UV performance

A PV cable is exposed for the life of the plant, so the sheath has to survive sunlight, ozone and thermal cycling without cracking. PV1-F and H1Z2Z2-K constructions are cross-linked and tested for weathering to ISO 4892-2 before release.

  • Cross-linked XLPO or XLPE insulation and sheath
  • Weathering and UV exposure tested to ISO 4892-2
  • Halogen-free and low smoke for rooftop and carport arrays
  • Rated 1500 V DC with a 0.6/1 kV AC alternative for harness work

Applications

Where solar pv cables are specified

The right construction depends on voltage, movement and the environment along the route.

Module and string wiring

Jumpers between modules and string runs to the combiner box, where cable is exposed to full sun.

Combiner to inverter

DC feeder runs in trays or ducts, where voltage drop and current derating decide the section.

Rooftop and carport arrays

Confined routes and long cable lengths on commercial roofs, where flexible Class 5 conductor helps.
