The 600/2000V UL-4703 PV Wire & Cable is a solar photovoltaic (PV) cable designed for use in photovoltaic power systems.
Specifications:
- Voltage Rating:
- 600V (UL 4703 Standard)
- 2000V (Higher Voltage for Large PV Systems)
- Conductor Size: 12 AWG (American Wire Gauge)
- Conductor Material: Copper (typically stranded for flexibility)
- Insulation Material: Cross-linked Polyethylene (XLPE) or similar (UV-resistant, flame-retardant)
- Jacket Material: UV-resistant, sunlight-resistant, and weatherproof (often labeled as "PV" or "Photovoltaic" wire)
- Temperature Rating: -40°C to 90°C (some versions up to 120°C)
- Standards Compliance:
- UL 4703 (Photovoltaic Wire Standard)
- RoHS Compliant (Restriction of Hazardous Substances)
- May also meet TUV, CSA, or NEC (National Electrical Code) requirements
Applications:
- Solar panel interconnections (between modules, combiners, and inverters)
- PV system wiring (both rooftop and ground-mounted installations)
- DC side wiring in solar farms (due to high voltage rating)
Key Features:
✔ UV & Weather Resistant – Designed for outdoor use
✔ Flame Retardant – Meets safety standards for electrical fires
