Doncaster PV Ultra Cable 2 Core 6.0mm DC Solar Black 1 Metre - PV-ULTRA2C6.0

Doncaster PV Ultra Cable 2 Core 6.0mm DC Solar Black - PV-ULTRA2C6.0

This cable is designed to meet the requirements of the DC interconnections between the solar panels and the other components of the photovoltaic system, such as the isolators and invertors. PV-Ultra provides excellent mechanical properties, can be installed both internally and externally, and has been designed with high quality materials to achieve an anticipated lifespan of circa 25 years.

PV-Ultra has red and white core colours to comply with the latest requirements of BS7671 with regards to two-wire unearthed DC power circuits (BS7671 Table 51). The double insulation of PV-Ultra ensures that the electrical equipment up to the DC connection of the PV inverter is Class II or equivalent insulation (as specified in BS7671 Clause 712.412.101).

PV-Ultra is a multicore DC solution that previously was solved by a multicore armoured cable. These multicore armoured cables are no longer recommended for use on the DC side of the installation. PV-Ultra can now serve as a direct replacement allowing for a compliant multicore solution.

The double insulated conductors are enclosed in a CarbonTek bedding, to give even more electrical protection against the steel wire armour (where applicable), with a final outer sheathing of SolarTek PVC being applied to all variants of the cable (steel wire armoured or not).

These cables are aesthetically similar to a mains power cable, as opposed to being similar in appearance to a coaxial cable. Which reduces the probability of homeowners/electricians/DIYers accidently cutting a live d.c. cable. It also includes a yellow warning print that further highlights the hazard that these cables are live during daylight hours.

Standard MC4 connectors can be applied to the cores meaning that the termination and connection to panels is the same as when using traditional single core PV cables.
