Polycab Solar DC Feeder Cable – Single Core XLPE, Anti-Termite, AS/NZS 5000.1

The Polycab Solar DC Feeder Cable is a single-core, XLPE insulated feeder cable for the DC side of solar plants, with anti-termite protection, for the runs from combiner boxes to inverters. Polycab's catalogue lists it as conforming to AS/NZS 5000.1. It is supplied at a price on request: cable prices depend on the construction, the quantity and the raw-material prices on the day.

Polycab India Limited is India's largest manufacturer of wires and cables, with 27 manufacturing facilities, a network of 4,300+ dealers and distributors, 2,00,000+ retailers and an export presence in 84 countries (polycab.com, October 2026). Its cable range runs from house wires and 1.1 kV power and control cables to MV and EHV power cables, with instrumentation, solar, railway, marine, mining, fire-survival and other special cables. Jai Enterprises supplies Polycab cables from Bhilai and Raipur all over Chhattisgarh - Bhilai, Raipur, Durg, Korba, Bilaspur, Raigarh, Jagdalpur, Kanker, Ambikapur and every other district - and across India.

Is this the right one for you?

Check these four things before you order:

• The cable is a DC feeder - combiner box to inverter - not module string wiring.
• Its DC rating suits your system voltage (we confirm it for 1,000 V and 1,500 V DC plants).
• You know the conductor size and material for the feeder current.
• The route needs termite protection (trench, duct or ground contact) - we confirm with Polycab whether the cable is rated for direct burial; otherwise lay it in duct or conduit.

Why choose the Polycab Solar DC Feeder Cable

• Single-core XLPE feeder cable for the DC side of PV plants
• Anti-termite protection for cable-trench and duct runs
• For permanent outdoor use
• Made to AS/NZS 5000.1

How to choose and specify it

Feeder or string. String wiring along the modules uses the Polycab Solar DC Cable (flexible, single core); the feeder cable carries the combined current of many strings from the combiner box to the inverter.

Rating. AS/NZS 5000.1 covers cables up to 0.6/1 (1.2) kV. Tell us your DC system voltage and we confirm the rating with Polycab.

Size. Size the feeder for at least 1.25 times the combined short-circuit current of its strings (or for the rating of its fuse or breaker), derate it for the installation (trench, duct or conduit), grouping and ground or air temperature, then check the voltage drop. Send us the currents and the run length.

Terminations. Use copper lugs on copper conductors and aluminium lugs on aluminium conductors, with bimetallic lugs where aluminium meets copper terminals; clean aluminium conductors and apply an oxide-inhibiting compound as the lug maker instructs, and tighten to the torque the inverter or combiner-box maker states.

Where it is used

• DC feeders from combiner boxes to central or string inverters
• Ground-mounted solar plants
• Cable-trench and duct DC runs in termite-prone ground
• Projects built to Australian / New Zealand specifications
• Solar pumping and hybrid plants

Frequently asked questions

What is the price of the Polycab Solar DC Feeder Cable?

The Polycab Solar DC Feeder Cable is supplied at a price on request, because cable prices depend on the construction, the quantity and the raw-material prices on the day. Call +91 9340081159 for a quotation.

How is it different from the solar DC (string) cable?

The string cable is a flexible, electron-beam cross-linked, halogen-free cable for wiring along the modules; the feeder cable is a single-core XLPE cable for the larger runs from the combiner box to the inverter.

What DC voltage is it rated for?

The catalogue does not print it. AS/NZS 5000.1 covers cables up to 0.6/1 (1.2) kV; we confirm the DC rating with Polycab for your system.

Why anti-termite?

Feeders often run in cable trenches or ducts, where termites can attack the sheath; this cable's anti-termite protection resists them. We confirm with Polycab whether it is rated for direct burial.

Where can I buy the Polycab Solar DC Feeder Cable in Chhattisgarh?

From Jai Enterprises, Bhilai and Raipur, which supplies Polycab cables to every district of Chhattisgarh and across India. Call +91 9340081159 for the price, stock and lead time.
