CSA RPvU90 Solar PV Wire | 2000V DC XLPE Insulated Cable | Tinned Copper Conductor | Direct Burial RatedCSA RPvU90 Solar PV Wire | 2000V DC XLPE Insulated Cable | Tinned Copper Conductor | Direct Burial Rated

Product Overview

CSA RPvU90 2000V Solar PV Cable delivers high-voltage power transmission for utility-scale photovoltaic systems. Engineered with XLPE insulation and tinned copper conductors, this cable operates from -40°C to +90°C and exceeds CSA, UL 4703, and RoHS standards. Ideal for direct burial, wet/dry locations, and extreme UV exposure, it ensures 25+ year reliability in solar farms and industrial installations.

Key Features & Benefits

  1. High-Voltage Performance

    • 2000V DC rating for utility-scale solar arrays and long-distance power transmission.

  2. Robust Construction

    • Conductor: Stranded bare/tinned copper (CSA C22.2 No. 38 compliant).

    • Insulation: XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene) for UV, abrasion, and moisture resistance.

  3. Environmental Resilience

    • Direct burial rated (-40°C to +90°C), sunlight resistant, and RoHS compliant.

Applications

  • High-Voltage Solar Farms: Combiner-to-inverter links, substation connections.

  • Direct Burial Projects: Underground PV arrays, agricultural solar installations.

  • Industrial Environments: Chemical plants, coastal zones, and desert solar fields.

Product Advantages

  1. Extended Lifespan

    • XLPE insulation resists thermal degradation (tested to 90°C continuous).

  2. Energy Efficiency

    • Low resistance (e.g., 0.0345 Ω/km for 1000 kcmil) minimizes voltage drop.

  3. Safety Compliance

    • Flame-retardant (UL 44 RHW-2), sunlight resistant, and RoHS certified.

  4. Mechanical Durability

    • Withstands burial abrasion, UV radiation, and temperature extremes.
