Solar Cable

Sample of solar rated electrical cableSolar-rated cable has a projected market growth of up to 400% for the next financial year.

Normally supplied in reels or drums of 30, 100, or 500 metres, our Solar Cable uses a Tinned Copper Conductor, manufactured in Australia, to AS/NZS 1125. The copper is Oxygen Free High Conductivity Copper that we use specifically for its high electric and thermal conductivity.

The insulation properties are V90HT, to the AS/NZS 3808:2000 standard. The sheath material is a Nitrile-modified PVC V90 (NBR) to AS/NZS 3808:2000.

Solar cable is currently experiencing strong market growth, and NorCab is leading the way by having our manufacturers produce standards-compliant solar cable to suit specific customer requirements.

Features:

  1. High electric and thermal conductivity
    Because OFHC contains only very small quantities of oxygen and other impurities it provides excellent electric and thermal conductivity.
  2. Excellent hydrogen enbrittlement resistance
    Tough Pitch Copper (TPC) becomes very brittle when it is heated at higher than 600° C under a reduction gas atmosphere including hydrogen gas. Because OFHC has a very low oxygen content it does not show any brittleness.
