Aluminum 2KV Photovoltaic Cable is mainly employed for connecting grounded and ungrounded photovoltaic power systems. When installed following NEC article 690.31(C)(2) for PV source and PV output circuits, single-conductor cables of all sizes are suitable for outdoor cable tray installation. The PV cable is designed for applications with voltages up to 2000 volts and temperatures ranging from -40°C to +90°C, in both wet and dry conditions.
construction:
Conductor: Compact stranded 8000 Series Aluminum conductor per ASTM B800, B801, B836, B901.
Insulation: Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) is gas/oil and sunlight resistant, direct burial rated. Standard colors are black, red in sizes 8AWG to 1000KCM, and green in sizes 4AWG to 1/0AWG. Other colors or stripes are available upon request.
cable marking:
ELITE WIRE <AWG or KCMIL(mm2)> PV WIRE (UL) E340884 AL AA-8000 COMPACT STRAND XLPE RHH RHW2 1KV/2KV 90°C -40°C SUN RES DIR BUR VW-1<YEAR> <SEQ FT> <Factory ID>
Standards:
ASTM B800, B801, B836, B901 are standards associated with this cable. It is UL 44 RHH RHW-2, UL 854 USE-2, UL 4703 PV Wire, and UL 2556 rated. Additionally, it is CSA listed as RPVU90 per CSA C22.2 No. 271, adhering to ANSI/ICEA S-95-658/NEMA WC 70 standards. The cable passes the VW-1 flame test, is Sunlight Resistant, and suitable for Direct Burial.
Options:
600V UL PV Wire, CSA RPV90 available upon request.
Paralleled conductors on one reel and circuit cuts available by request.
