EN50618 solar cable

Engineered for the next generation of solar energy, the EN50618 Solar Cable offers superior performance for both utility-scale solar farms and commercial rooftop PV systems. Designed to handle up to 1500V DC, this halogen-free cable ensures maximum safety, optimal power transmission, and long-term durability in extreme environmental conditions.

Application

Specifically manufactured to meet the rigorous demands of modern photovoltaic systems, the EN50618 cable is ideal for interconnecting solar modules and connecting them to the inverter. Suitable for fixed installations, indoor and outdoor environments, and within conduits or systems with high mechanical impact risks.

Electrical Characteristics

Nominal Voltage: AC 1.0/1.0 kV; DC 1.5/1.5 kV (Max. 1.8 kV DC)
High current carrying capacity with excellent insulation resistance.

Physical Characteristics

–Temperature Rating: -40°C to +90°C (Max. conductor temperature 120°C for 20,000 hours)
–Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)
–UV, ozone, and weather resistant

Certifications

TUV Rheinland certified, fully compliant with EN 50618 standard, CE marked, and RoHS compliant.
