Nexans PV AC/DC 1-1,5kV Alu 1x185

Application

The Nexans PV AC/DC 1-1,5kV Alu cable offers excellent performance and long-term reliability, with a projected lifespan of more than 25 years. It is recommended for use in utility-scale solar power plants, regardless of the architecture chosen.

Universal Use

The Nexans PV AC/DC 1-1,5kV Alu cable is suitable for both DC power links with a voltage of 1500V between polarity and ground, and for 800V AC power links with respect to high phase/ground voltage rises following the use of an anti-PID* device or an impeding neutral regime.

PID* : Potential Induced Deterioration (of PV panels)

The Nexans PV AC/DC 1-1,5kV Alu cable is is available in two versions :

• version for above ground installations,
• version with reinforced sheath for direct buried installations depending on local specifications. In this case, we recommend mechanical laying with sand bedding in the trench.

Design

• Single core cable with aluminum conductor
• XLPE insulation
• PVC outer-sheath or reinforced PVC outer-sheath

(insulation thickness and dielectric test according to  IEC 60502-1, LCIE test report n°159694-732611)

Electrical characteristics

Maximum current according to NF C15-100 for cable laid alone:

a) in the open air, sheltered from the sun, on cable trays or cable brackets, cable ladders, and spaced from the wall

b) buried (according to NF C15-100 and UTE C15-520 rules) in a soil with termal resistivity of 1 K.m/W, laying depth: 600 mm

The ampacity and voltage drop values (for cos φ  = 0.8 et F = 50Hz) mentioned in the tables are those of a three-phase link.

If the conditions are different, apply the correction factors ot the NF C15-100 standard.
