6 FAQs about [Solar heating cable operating temperature]

What if the environment is too hot for a cable?

The construction standards of the standard installation cables determine the permissible ambient temperature during operation with the range -15°C to 60°C. If the environment becomes too hot, it will heat up the cable in addition to the heating caused by the joule effect.

What is the minimum temperature for cable installation?

The minimum temperature for installation can be found on the technical data sheet. If you strictly observe rules of good craftsmanship, cable can be installed at low temperatures down to -20°C: The cable must be kept in a heated room of at least 20°C for 24 hours.

What is the maximum temperature a cable can withstand?

This shortens the lifespan of the cable and increases the risk of short circuits. This permissible maximum ambient temperature of 60°C also applies to fire-resistant cables. Fire resistant cables can withstand the high temperatures reached during a fire for a limited period of time (1 to 2 hours), but will then carbonise and need to be replaced.

What is the operating temperature for a DC cable?

The operating temperature for DC cables is typically less than 90˚C. Technical standards require the cables to sustain for 20,000 hours at this temperature, equivalent to 160,000 hours at 90˚C according to Arrhenius law. Operating temperatures above 90˚C can lead to cable breakdown due to UV radiation absorption in the conductor from sunlight.

What are the specifications of a solar cable?

The Solar Cable (1.8 kV DC) has the following specifications: UV stable and rodent repellent sheathing material. Maximum operating temperature: 105°C. Insulation: 105°C rating, flame retardant insulating material. Cold bend: -15°C. Sheath: UV stable and rodent repellent sheathing material.

What happens if a cable gets too hot?

If the environment becomes too hot, it will heat up the cable in addition to the heating caused by the joule effect. This shortens the lifespan of the cable and increases the risk of short circuits. This permissible maximum ambient temperature of 60°C also applies to fire-resistant cables.
