The new EN 50618 standard requires a voltage of 1500V, whereas the voltage of a RV-K cable is 900V. In addition, RV-K cables do not pass the Arrenhius test, which is an ageing test to ensure the electrical reliability of the cables. Finally, the EN 50618 standard requires solar cables to have tinned conductors and cross-linked insulation and sheathing, characteristics which the RV-K (and RZ1-K) cable lacks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ZZ-F<\/strong> type cables are now <strong>discontinued <\/strong>.

This new voltage has a direct impact on project profitability, resulting in significant cost reductions, longer links and fewer junction boxes and wiring. All DC components also had to be upgraded to a higher operating voltage, and international regulatory bodies issued new standards and certificates to ensure their suitability.<\/p>\n<p>The new standard, published in 2014, is EN 50618. This standard specifies that cables in PV system installations must have a rated continuous voltage of up to 1.5 kV. The international safety qualification standard for PV modules &#8211; IEC 61730 &#8211; requires PV module cables to comply with EN 50618.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>TOPSOLAR\u00ae H1Z2Z2-K<\/strong> cable, manufactured by Top Cable, is certified by T\u00dcV according to EN 50618. The EN 50618 standard requires cables to have flexible tinned copper conductors with a single core and cross-linked insulation and sheathing.

In the battery-inverter section, a minimum cross-section of 35 mm2 should be useddue tothe high currents generated towards the inverter.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1709038221747\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-is-it-important-that-a-h1z2z2-k-solar-cable-is-halogen-free-and-cpr-classified-as-cca\"><\/span><strong>Why is it important that a H1Z2Z2-K solar cable is halogen-free and CPR classified as C<\/strong><sub><strong>ca<\/strong><\/sub><strong>?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The EN 50618 standard requires solar cables type H1Z2Z2-K to have a low smoke, corrosive gas and halogen-free (LSZH) sheathing in case of fire.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, in Europe, according to CPR regulations, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.topcable.com\/blog-electric-cable\/en\/topsolar-h1z2z2-k-the-highest-solar-cpr-certification-cca-s1bd2a1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the minimum reaction to fire class required for cables must be C<sub>ca<\/sub><\/a>. <strong>TOPSOLAR\u00ae H1Z2Z2-K<\/strong> cable <strong>,<\/strong> manufactured by Top Cable, has <strong>the highest solar CPR certification: C<\/strong><sub><strong>ca<\/strong><\/sub><strong>-s1b,d2,a1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1709038319150\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"where-can-i-find-the-technical-specification-of-the-topsolar%c2%ae-pv-h1z2z2-k-cable-in-pdf-format\"><\/span><strong>Where can I find the technical specification of the TOPSOLAR\u00ae PV H1Z2Z2-K cable in PDF format?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Here is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.topcable.com\/downloads\/pdf\/ESP\/TopCable_H1Z2Z2_K_ESP_900011022213.pdf\">PDF of the summary technical specification of the TOPSOLAR\u00ae PV H1Z2Z2-K cable<\/a>.
