TOPSOLAR PV AWA/SWA AL 1500V

Aluminium or galvanized wire armour cable


The TOPSOLAR® PV AWA/SWA DC Feeder Aluminium cable is suitable for all types of underground and open air solar installations. This cable is recommended for connections between string boxes and photovoltaic inverters in large scale rooftops or ground farms. Suitable for transport and distribution of electric power where there is the possibility of mechanical aggressions.
