EN 50618 H1Z2Z2-K Solar DC Cable 1500V
The EN 50618 H1Z2Z2-K Solar DC Cable 1500V is designed for interconnection wiring of grounded and ungrounded photovoltaic power systems. It is widely used for solar panel connections, PV module wiring, rooftop solar systems, solar farms, and off-grid solar power installations.
This solar DC cable adopts fine wire strands of tinned copper wires according to IEC 60228 Class 5. The insulation and outer jacket are made from irradiation cross-linkable LSZH flame-retardant polyolefin compound, providing excellent resistance to UV, water, ozone, fluids, salt, general weathering, and abrasion.
