ÖLFLEX® SOLAR XLWP
Electron beam cross-linked solar cables with improved performance in water – EN 50618 type
ÖLFLEX® SOLAR XLWP, electron beam cross-linked solar cable with optimized performance in water
- Optimised cable design –
constant high contact resistance even after a long period in water - H1Z2Z2-K (type according to EN 50618)
- Replaces previous ÖLFLEX® SOLAR XLR WP
Benefits
- The alternative for long-term storage in water, e.g. as may be the case after flooding or in buried conduits
- Reduction of flame propagation and of toxic gases in the event of fire
- Robust against mechanical impacts
- Extruded colour stripe serves as reverse polarity protection during installation
- Exact quantity control during installation by meter marking on the cable sheath
Application range
- For underground installation in protective pipes, in which water, heat and moisture can accumulate
- For floating PV / canal top installations where cables are in contact with water or exposed to high humidity (see data sheet for more details)
- Gable and flat roof photovoltaic systems
- Photovoltaic and solar parks
- Suitable for direct burial: see data sheet
