FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions):

Q: What does LSHF mean?
A: LSHF (Low Smoke Halogen-Free) materials emit minimal smoke and zero halogen gases in a fire, reducing risk of toxic inhalation and equipment corrosion.

Q: Is this cable suitable for rooftop solar systems?
A: Yes. It is UV and weather resistant, making it perfect for use on rooftops and outdoor systems.

Q: Can it be used underground?
A: It may be used in ducted or conduit-protected underground installations, but direct burial is not recommended without mechanical protection.

Q: Is the cable double insulated?
A: PX Solar Cables typically meet EN 50618, which requires thick-walled insulation for outdoor durability, acting similarly to double insulation.

Q: What is the current rating of 4mm² solar cable?
A: Approx. 55–70A in free air depending on installation method and ambient conditions (check with local regulations or standards for exact values).

Warranty Information:

PX Solar Cables come with a manufacturer-backed warranty, typically ranging from 10 to 25 years depending on the supplier and system usage. The warranty ensures performance integrity, resistance to weathering, and material quality under normal operating conditions. Exclusions apply for improper handling, overloading, or installation errors.

For specific warranty coverage, consult the product packaging or manufacturer’s documentation.
