What is BS EN 50565-2 – Electric cables for photovoltaic systems about?

BS EN 50618 is a European standard that applies to low smoke halogen-free, flexible, single-core power cables with cross-linked insulation and sheath. In particular for used at the direct current (d.c.) side of photovoltaic systems, with a nominal d.c. a voltage of 1,5 kV between conductors and between conductor and earth. The cables are suitable to be used with Class II equipment. The cables are designed to operate at a normal maximum conductor temperature of 90 °C but for a maximum of 20 000 hours max. conductor temperature of 120 °C at a max. An ambient temperature of 90 °C is permitted. NOTE: The expected period of use under normal usage conditions as specified in th...
