SOLARFLEX®-X H1Z2Z2-K NTS – Anti-rodent cable for photovoltaic systems
Photovoltaic system cables are frequently vulnerable to rodent damage, which can significantly impact system performance and lead to high maintenance costs. For an anti-rodent cable that ensures optimal protection for your energy system, please consider SOLARFLEX®-X H1Z2Z2-K NTS cable!
1. The threat of rodents to photovoltaic systems
Solar panels, with their warm and sheltered environment, unintentionally attract various animals, especially birds and rodents. Species like squirrels and mice pose a particular risk to photovoltaic system cables. Their instinct to gnaw often leads them to target the protective sheath, damaging the insulation and exposing the wires. This not only disrupts the performance and stability of the photovoltaic system but also creates a potential fire hazard if exposed wires encountering flammable materials nearby.
To mitigate these risks, PV farms must implement effective protection measures against rodent damage, with selecting the right type of cable as a top priority.
2. Essential information about SOLARFLEX®-X H1Z2Z2-K NTS cable
SOLARFLEX®-X H1Z2Z2-K NTS cable is specially designed for photovoltaic systems, providing critical connections between solar modules. Featuring a stainless-steel protective braid, this cable is not only resistant to rodents but also ensures durability and longevity, promoting safe and efficient operation for photovoltaic systems.
2.1. Technical specifications
SOLARFLEX®-X H1Z2Z2-K NTS is a single-core cable built to avoid rodent threats, which is in alignment with DIN VDE 0283-618 and DIN EN 50618 Standards. It performs optimally in temperatures from -40°C to +90°C, with a permissible operating temperature of +120°C, significantly reducing fire and explosion risks.
Tested at 6500V, this cable has a nominal voltage of 1000V (AC) and 1500V (DC), with a minimum bending radius of five times larger than its outer diameter, meeting installation flexibility requirements for solar panels.
2.2. Cable structure
SOLARFLEX®-X H1Z2Z2-K NTS cable is available in black, red, and blue. Red is typically used for the positive pole, black for the negative, and blue as an alternative to black depending on design standards. Each color offers cross-section options of 4 mm², 6 mm², and 10 mm², with outer diameters ranging from 5.9 to 8.4 mm, details as follows:
This cable is constructed with finely twisted, tinned copper conductors according to DIN VDE 0295 Class 5 and IEC 60228 Class 5 Standards. The insulation and outer sheaths are made of cross-linked compound (XLPE), providing robust durability. Especially, the German V2A stainless steel braid covers 80-85% of the cable surface, offering enhanced protection against abrasion, bending, and rodent damage.
2.3. Cable properties
Optimally designed for outdoor applications, SOLARFLEX®-X H1Z2Z2-K NTS cable is resistant to UV radiation, ozone, and weather exposure. It is also halogen-free, meeting DIN VDE 0482-754-1, DIN EN 60754-1, and IEC 60754-1 Standards. In addition, it is flame-retardant with low smoke density as certified by VDE, EN, and IEC standards.
Overall, SOLARFLEX®-X H1Z2Z2-K NTS cable provides an ideal solution for solar energy systems, protecting cables from rodent damage and ensuring long-term, reliable performance. For guidance on the best cable solutions for safe, durable photovoltaic systems, don’t hesitate to contact us!
