UL approved PV wire Photovoltaic cable for PV plant

UL approved PV wire Photovoltaic cable for PV plant

PV wire is rated 600, 1000 or 2000 V, and is suitable for ac and dc systems. This wire is rated 90, 105, 125 or 150°C dry and 90°C wet. PV wire employs 12 AWG - 2000 kcmil stranded aluminum or copper-clad aluminum, or 18 AWG - 2000 kcmil stranded copper, tined copper conductors.

Application: 
This versatile single-conductor cable is designed to meet the varying needs of the Solar Industry. Applications include connection to module junction boxes; required cable routing in balance of system (BOS) integration.
