What types of cables are included in new energy cables?

With the increasing global demand for clean energy, the new energy industry is developing rapidly. New energy cables, as a key component of new energy systems, are becoming increasingly diverse and varied in type and specifications.

(1) Solar Cables
Also called photovoltaic cables, they are used in solar photovoltaic power generation systems to connect photovoltaic modules, combiner boxes, inverters, and other equipment.

• Features: UV resistant, high and low temperature resistant, ozone resistant, chemical corrosion resistant, etc.

• Conductor cross-sectional area: Commonly 1.5mm², 2.5mm², 4mm², 6mm², etc.

• Number of cores: Generally 1 core or 2 cores.

• Voltage rating: Usually DC 1000V or DC 1500V.

(2) Energy Storage Cables
Energy storage cables are cables specifically designed for energy storage systems, possessing a series of unique characteristics and functions.

Energy storage cables typically require good electrical performance, including low resistance to reduce energy loss and high insulation performance to ensure safe and reliable power transmission. They must be able to withstand large current and voltage changes and adapt to the frequent charge and discharge cycles of energy storage systems.

• They must possess good high-temperature resistance, aging resistance, low smoke, and halogen-free properties.

• Conductor cross-sectional area: Wide range, commonly ranging from 4mm² to 240mm²

• Number of cores: Generally 1 core.

• Voltage rating: Commonly DC 1000V, DC 1500V, etc.

Common models: EV, EVRP series, and the EU standard UL series.

(3) Charging pile cables
Charging pile cables are important components connecting electric vehicles and charging piles, mainly used for transmitting electrical energy to realize the charging function of electric vehicles.

• High current carrying capacity, good flexibility, high temperature resistance, wear resistance, and waterproof properties.

Voltage rating: Charging pile cables are divided into AC and DC. Common household cables are AC450/750V, while large charging stations are generally DC 1000V, DC 1500V, etc.

• Number of cores: AC cables are generally 3 cores. DC cables typically have 5 or more cores due to the control line component.

• Common models: AC cables are generally YJV, YJVR, or EV series; DC cables are EVDC series or 62893IEC126 standard series.

(4) Wind Power Cables
Wind power cables, also known as wind turbine cables, need to be flexible and capable of frequent twisting to adapt to the automatic yaw of wind turbines; they also need to have strong vertical tensile strength to adapt to the vertical suspension installation of wind turbines.

Conductor cross-sectional area: Wide range, commonly used from 4mm² to 240mm²

• Voltage rating: 450/750V, 0.6/1KV, 1.8/3KV

• Number of cores: AC cables are generally 1-5 cores; signal output sections have 6-36 cores.
