The Characteristics of  Solar Cable 10 AWG

Application:

 10 AWG Solar Cable is appropriate for use in solar power applications that require 600 volt rating. For use in grounded interconnection and ungrounded Photovoltaic power systems.

 10 AWG 600 Solar Cable Standard:

Adapted to PV systems, 2 Pfg 1169 / 08.2007 and UL.

 10 AWG 600 Volt Solar Cable Electrical Parameters:

Voltage Rating : AC 0.6 / 1.0 kV Max. PV - System Voltage : DC up to 2.0 kV possible Max. Permissible Operating Voltage in AC Systems : 0.7 / 1.2 kV Max. Permissible Operating Voltage in DC Systems : 0.9 / 1.8 kV Test Voltage : AC 6 kV / DC 10 kV (15 min.)

 Solar Cable 10 AWG Construction:

Conductor : Fine Wire Tinned Copper Conductor according to BS EN 60228:2005 cl. 5.

Insulation : UV resistant, cross linkable, halogen free, flame retardant compound for core insulation.

Core Identification : Red, black or natural

Sheath : UV resistant, cross linkable, halogen free, flame retardant compound for Sheath over insulation.

Cable Colour : Black or Red

10 AWG 600 Volt Solar Cable Advantage:

 10 AWG 600 Volt Solar Cable modules operate at high temperatures and are exposed to a variety of environmental conditions.

The NEC limits various PV array applications to USE-2 or PV wire. These cables need to meet the required sunlight resistance and temperature ratings for the environment.

Solar Cable 10 AWG is manufactured for use in photovoltaic applications, while USE-2 cable types are typically manufactured for underground service entrance applications.

Both cable types commonly contain XLPO insulation and can be sunlight resistant and/or rated for direct burial.
