Is this the right one for you?

Check these four things before you order:

• The cable is for the MV AC side - from the inverter transformer (inverter station) to the plant substation.
• You know which standard your project follows: IEC 60502-2, AS/NZS 1429.1 or UL 1072.
• You know the voltage grade, conductor size and material for each circuit.
• The terminations and joints will be for the same cable type and grade.

Why choose the Polycab Solar MV Cable

• Four MV types for IEC, Australian and US project specifications
• Cross-linked insulation - tree-retardant XLPE on the UL 1072 types
• All four rated for direct burial; the UL 1072 types also listed for ducts and wet or dry locations
• Single core, for the AC collection network of solar plants

How to choose and specify it

Which type. Pick the type your project specification calls for: RH5Z1-OL where it names this design (common on Spanish and other European-style projects), the AS/NZS 1429.1 type for Australian projects, and UL 1072 MV-90 or MV-105 for projects built to US practice. For IS 7098 (Part 2) specifications, see the Polycab MV Power Cable.

MV-90 or MV-105. In UL 1072, MV-90 and MV-105 mark a maximum conductor temperature of 90 °C or 105 °C; the higher rating carries more current in hot ground or where the design needs it.

RH5Z1-OL. In the Spanish (UNE) cable code used for this type, R means XLPE insulation, H5 an aluminium-tape screen, Z1 a polyolefin sheath and OL longitudinal water-tightness (as cable makers explain the code); we confirm the construction with Polycab.

Sizing. Size each circuit for its current in the ground, the grouping in the trench and the fault level. Tell us the earth-fault current and how the screens will be bonded (single point, both ends or cross-bonded), and send the single-line diagram and the trench layout.

Terminations. Use aluminium lugs on aluminium conductors (bimetallic lugs where they meet copper) and copper lugs on copper conductors, fitted inside a termination kit for the cable's voltage grade.

Frequently asked questions

What is the price of the Polycab Solar MV Cable?

The Polycab Solar MV 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.

What is the difference between MV-90 and MV-105?

They are UL 1072 ratings: MV-90 for a maximum conductor temperature of 90 °C and MV-105 for 105 °C.

What does TR-XLPE mean?

Tree-retardant cross-linked polyethylene - an XLPE compound made to resist water treeing in wet or buried MV service.

Which voltage grades are available?

The catalogue does not print them. Tell us your collection voltage, the standard, how the network is earthed and how quickly an earth fault is cleared, and we confirm the grade with Polycab.

Where can I buy the Polycab Solar MV 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.
