YMvK ERX Aluminum Conductor Unshielded PVC 1.8/3KV AC 4.5KV DC Solar Installation Cable

About:

The "YMvK ERX Aluminum Conductor Unshielded PVC 1.8/3KV AC 4.5KV DC Solar Installation Cable" likely describes a type of electrical cable designed for high-voltage connections, specifically in solar power applications. The cable's characteristics suggest it's suitable for carrying both alternating current (AC) at voltages up to 1.8/3KV and direct current (DC) up to 4.5KV, which is typical for solar installations.

Also Known As:

• Solar PV (Photovoltaic) Cable
• Aluminum Conductor Solar Cable
• High Voltage Solar Power Cable
• Unarmored Solar Installation Cable
• YMvK ERX PV Cable

Application:

The YMvK ERX is an aluminum single-core low-voltage cable designed for permanent connection of solar parks. Due to its construction, the cable can be used for both AC (1.8/3kV) and DC (4.5kV) applications. The cable is difficult to burn and has excellent properties with regard to UV resistance.

Standards:

• IEC 60502-1 for power cables with extruded insulation for rated voltages from 1kV up to 30kV.
• EN 50618 for solar cables used in photovoltaic systems.
• TÜV certification, which is often required for solar cables.
• UL standards, if the cable is used in the United States or in global markets that recognize UL certifications.

Construction:

• Conductor: Round Aluminum Compacted Together (rs)
• Insulation: Cross-linked Polyethylene (XLPE), White
• Type of material: HD604 S1:1994/A2 2002/A3: 2005 Part 4 Section D
• Outer Sheath: Polyvinyl chloride (PVC ST), Black or Gray

Features:

• Designed specifically for high-voltage solar applications.
• Robust PVC insulation that can withstand environmental stress like UV light, temperature extremes, and moisture.
• The unshielded design could allow for easier handling and installation compared to shielded cables.
• Compliance with flame retardant and fire-resistant standards, ensuring safety in case of fire.
• The aluminum conductors provide a cost-effective solution while still ensuring good conductivity and performance for the required applications.
