PV Photovoltaic Wire

PV Photovoltaic Wire - 1000V / 2000V / XLPE-COPPER

PV wire with stranded copper construction and available in colors. Insulated with moisture and heat resistant XLPE crosslinked polyethylene. Rated for applications requiring Type Photovoltaic conductor in wet or dry locations where temperatures do not exceed 90°C. Sunlight resistant and ideal for interconnecting solar panels in outdoor rooftop environments. Suitable for applications utilizing transformerless inverters and for direct burial. Additional USE-2, RHH, and RHW-2 ratings provide flexibility for applications in conduit and raceways installed underground in conduit, in wet locations, and where condensation and moisture accumulations within the conduit do not exceed 90°C.
