The photovoltaic sector requires reliable and long-lasting solutions to ensure efficiency and safety in installations. Choosing the right cable plays a crucial role in optimizing performance and ensuring long operational life. Our AL-XLPE-HDPE aluminum cable for photovoltaic systems is an ideal option for those seeking a high-quality product, resistant to weather conditions and compliant with safety standards. Let’s explore its features!
Technical Specifications of the AL-XLPE-HDPE Cable
Designed to ensure maximum performance in photovoltaic systems, our AL-XLPE-HDPE cable offers a range of technical advantages that make it a highly reliable product:
- Conductor: compact aluminum with round strands, class 2 complying with IEC 60228.
- Insulation: cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) complying with IEC 60502-1, with a rated voltage of 8/3 kV (3.6 kV).
- Outer sheath: made of HDPE (high-density polyethylene), UV-resistant.
- Temperature resistance: maximum operating temperature of +90°C, with resistance up to 250°C under short-circuit conditions.
UV Resistance and Durability of the HDPE Sheath
Thanks to the presence of carbon black, the black HDPE sheath offers excellent protection against prolonged sun exposure. In most cases, it can preserve cable integrity for several decades without significant wear and tear.
Carbon black plays a key role: it absorbs UV radiation and protects the polymer structure, preventing material weakening over time. With a typical content of around 2%, HDPE sheaths have demonstrated a service life of over 25 years under real environmental conditions, far exceeding the requirements of most applications. Industry standards also recognize its effectiveness, requiring minimum levels of carbon black and specific UV aging tests to certify cables as “sunlight resistant.”
In terms of performance, HDPE offers one of the best UV resistance performances: it generally surpasses PVC and standard LSZH materials and is comparable to specially formulated XLPE sheaths for outdoor use. This makes it a solid and reliable choice as a go-to solution in the cable industry.
