Somtimes can we use photovoltaic cables instead of non metallic cables?

Published by Author: Joey Wan January 18,2022

As we all know, the rated voltage of photovoltaic cables is as high as 1500 volts, which seems to be higher than the voltage of non metallic cables. When there are no wires at home, and we are just using photovoltaic cables, can we use photovoltaic cables instead of non metallic sheathed cables? use it?

 

 

According to the structure and parameters of photovoltaic cables, photovoltaic cables cannot be used as non metallic cables for laying at home, because the resistivity of photovoltaic cables is much higher than that of main electric cable to house, and the rated voltage is also much higher, although It can conduct electricity, but the voltage value that the household appliances on the market can withstand cannot withstand the voltage value of the photovoltaic cable. If it is used forcibly, the electrical appliance will be damaged.

The photovoltaic cable is only used in the external environment, and it is not suitable for use for main electric cable to house. If you must use it as a non metallic sheathed cable, look at its current carrying capacity. If the current carrying capacity can be consistent with the current carrying capacity of household electrical equipment, it can be used, but it will increase the cost of power consumption.

When purchasing non metallic sheathed wires and cables for home improvement, you must understand the specifications of the planned electricity consumption, choose according to the specifications and models, and choose the corresponding specifications of wires according to the actual use and budget a little more, so that you can use When there is no fever. The second is to see if there is national standard certification and VDE certification on its logo. In domestic wires, non metallic cables with these two certification marks represent qualified wires, because the quality of the main electric cable to house is good or bad when it is used. It is able to determine the effect of use in the future.


When choosing a non metallic cable in the market, first check whether the color of the surface is uniform, and whether the main electric cable to house is smooth or not, so as to ensure that the overall effect of the non metallic sheathed cable is much better than random buying.

When choosing a non metallic sheathed cable, make sure that the insulator on its surface is slightly discolored. If there is, it means that the cable is not a high-quality mian electric cable to house and cannot be purchased casually.

 

As a reminder, when buying non metallic sheathed cables, if there is no reliable wire and cable business, please go to large specialty stores to buy, so as to ensure that you will not buy inferior products. Because there are wires and cables of different quality on the market now, their qualification certificates may not be formal, and the appearance and packaging are also very good-looking. Therefore, when choosing wires and cables, you must not buy them casually.
