H1Z2Z2-K cable description

H1Z2Z2-K is a modern photovoltaic cable specially designed for connecting solar PV modules in photovoltaic systems. It complies with the European standard EN 50618 “Electric cables for photovoltaic systems”, which sets out the specific requirements for such cables: a long service life in direct sunlight (at least 25 years), resistance to high operating temperatures (+90°C on a roof in summer), and fire safety under conditions of high DC short-circuit currents.

Key features:

  • UV-resistant sheath: retains its elasticity and insulating properties in direct sunlight for 25+ years
  • Halogen-free compound: emits no corrosive gases when burning and has reduced smoke emission – important on roofs and in plant rooms
  • Tinned copper conductor: protects the contacts with MC4 connectors against oxidation for the entire service life
  • High temperature resistance: +90°C on the conductor continuously, up to +120°C for limited periods (no more than 20 000 h in total over the service life per EN 50618), +250°C under short circuit
  • Double insulation: safety in DC circuits at voltages up to 1.5 kV

It is used in Uzbekistan for building solar power plants of any scale – from private installations of 5-30 kW to industrial solar farms of 100+ MW. It is supplied in black (standard), red (for positive polarity) and blue (for negative polarity) for convenient installation in the field.

Applications

Connecting solar PV modules into arrays (string cables)
Connecting PV arrays to inverters and converters
DC circuits of small and large solar power plants
Fixed and moving (tracker-mounted) photovoltaic installations
Open-air installation in direct sunlight – UV resistance of at least 25 years

Construction

1

Conductor

Stranded tinned copper, flexibility class 5 to EN 60228. Tinning protects against oxidation at the contact with MC4 connectors and ensures reliable connections for the entire service life.

2

Insulation

Cross-linked, halogen-free, low-flammability polymer compound. Resistant to UV radiation, ozone, moisture and short-term heating up to +120°C.

3

Outer sheath

Halogen-free, UV-resistant compound. Colours: black (standard), red (for +), blue (for −). Emits no corrosive gases or acrid smoke when burning.
