NEXANS PV AC/DC Alu 1-1,5kV

Universal use

The NEXANS PV AC/DC Alu 1-1.5kV cable is suitable for both direct current power connections with a voltage of 1500V between polarity and earth and alternating current 800V with regard to high phase/earth voltage rises resulting from the use of an anti-PID* device or an impedance neutral system.

PID*: Potential Induced Deterioration.

Low carbon

NEXANS PV AC/DC Alu 1-1.5kV cables, 100% manufactured in France at the Jeumont site (59), guarantee a minimum 35% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared with standard cables. They are based on the guaranteed use of 100% low-carbon aluminium and recycled plastic, as well as the use of renewable or low-carbon energies during production.

Nexans makes available all the environmental data for its products (PEP Ecopassport®).

Unique features and exceptional quality

It offers excellent performance and long-term reliability, with an expected service life in excess of 25 years. 

• Water immersion resistance (AD8)
• UV resistance AN3

Nexans NEXANS PV AC/DC Alu 1-1.5kV cable is available in two versions: 

• a version recommended for installation on the ground or under a sheath.
• a version with a reinforced sheath better suited to mechanised underground installation in accordance with NF C15-100 and UTE C15-520 (the cables are placed between two layers of river sand or loose earth, each 10 cm thick; independent mechanical protection against the impact of hand-held metal tools must be provided).

Ease of use

The NEXANS PV AC/DC Alu 1-1.5kV cable is available in a twisted version: an assembly of four twisted single conductors designed for three-phase AC connections with neutral or DC in the event of double polarities (possibility of assembling 2x DC up to 120mm² and 3x AC).

The twisted version offers the following advantages:

• Easier handling because more flexible than a multi-conductor cable
• Each cable is marked with a coloured border, making it easier and safer to identify during connection
• Saves time during installation: the number of pulls is divided by 4 compared with a conventional connection using single-conductor cables.
