Specifications

As per TUV Rheinland specification: 2 Pfg 1169/08.2007.

Solar Cables used in Solar Farm installations are mainly categorized as given below:

A) PV module to PV module and PV modules to Array Junction Box

These cables though not exposed to direct sunlight are throughout the day time exposed to diffused/indirect sunlight and atmospheric temperatures in open air.

TYPE 1

DC Solar Cables are Single core Copper cables each for +ve and —ve. They are insulated and sheathed with Cross Linkable LSOH which has UV as well as Ozone protection properties. These cables confirm to TUV specifications.

TYPE 2

DC Solar Cables are Single core Copper cables each for +ve and —ve. They are insulated with HR 105°C PVC compound and sheathed with UV stabilized HR 105°C PVC compound.

TYPE 3

DC Solar Cables are Single core Copper cables each for +ve and —ve. They are insulated with XLPE compound and and sheathed with UV stabilized PVC ST2 compound.

B) Array Junction Box to Main Junction Box and Main

These Solar DC cables which are not exposed to sunlight and are always routed through PVC Pipes which are laid underground. Choice of cables can be done from any one of the options given. Generally Option 3 is chosen for this route.

C) Inverter to Transformer Primary

The Three Phase AC output from the Inverters is connected to the Transformer Primary through Underground Armoured Cables. These cables are Copper or Aluminium XLPE insulated, GI armoured, UV stabilised PVC ST2.

D) Transformer Secondary to RMU/Switchyard

The Three Phase AC output from the Tranformer Secondary is connected to the RMU/Switchyard through Armoured Cables. These cables are Copper or Aluminium XLPE insulated, GI armoured, UV stabilised PVC ST2.

E) RMU to Switchyard

Three Phase AC connection from the RMU is connected to the Switchyard through Armoured Cables. These cables are Copper or Aluminium XLPE insulated, GI armoured, UV stabilised PVC ST2.

Note:

All Solar cables used with XLPE insulation armoured or unarmoured are specially manufactured with UV stabilised PVC ST2 outer sheathing which are specially formulated compounds to sustain the Direct / Diffused / Indirect Sunlight in case of exposed cables at any stage of installation.
