ProductUL 4703
Solar Premium Cable
Premium Nexans Solar PV WIRE Cable meets all the requirements of the UL 4703 standard. It has a soft copper conductor, with cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation, free of hazardous substances (RoHS).
Applications and Features
Power supply of low voltage circuits up to 2kV, mainly the connection of photovoltaic solar panels on roofs and solar farms where weather resistance characteristics are required.
Ideal for connection between the strings of photovoltaic solar panels as well as the connection to the combiner box (if applicable) and as the main feeder for the connection of inverter equipment responsible for transforming direct current (DC) from solar energy into alternating current (AC).
Cables suitable for installation in conduit, directly buried, in dry, humid or wet locations, and resistant to UV rays.
In general the cables can be used for systems described in NEC Article 690 part IV (equivalent NTC 2050).
Our PV WIRE cables meet the following characteristics:
- FV-1/Vertical flame test, according to UL 2556 Standard.
- Direct buried installation, complying with impact test according to UL 4703 standard.
- Resistance to solar rays, complying with the test defined in the UL 2556 standard, exposure to 720 hours.
- Cable designed for intermittent partial or total immersion in water according to condition AD7, at a depth between 150 mm and maximum 1 m (low pressure), complying with the test defined in section 14.2.7 of the IEC 60529 standard (Procedure developed by Centelsa by Nexans).
