  • Solar cable | 4mm² | black | KJ-4MM2

    Code: KJ-4MM2

    KJ-4MM2 is a black 4 mm² solar cable designed for connecting photovoltaic modules, connectors and other DC circuit components. Suitable for solar power installations where reliable and neat cable connections are required.

  • Solar module cable | 4 mm² | black | KJ-4MM2

    KJ-4MM2 is a black 4 mm² cable intended for electrical connections between solar modules and other compatible photovoltaic equipment. The cable may be used in PV system circuits when a 4 mm² conductor cross-section has been selected according to the actual circuit current, cable route length, permissible voltage drop and installation conditions.

    Key point

    When selecting a cable for a solar installation, conductor cross-section alone is not sufficient. The suitability of a 4 mm² cable must be determined from electrical calculations, circuit current, cable length, voltage drop, installation method and the technical characteristics declared by the manufacturer of the specific cable.

    Operating principle

    In a solar installation, the cable is used to transfer electrical energy between solar modules, module strings and other compatible PV system components. The 4 mm² conductor cross-section affects the electrical resistance of the cable and therefore has a direct influence on voltage drop along the cable route.

    The longer the cable route and the higher the circuit current, the more important it is to calculate the required conductor cross-section correctly. If the voltage drop of a 4 mm² cable does not meet the project criteria, a larger cross-section, for example 6 mm², may be selected.

    Why is KJ-4MM2 useful?

    It is a 4 mm² cable option for solar module system connections when this conductor cross-section has been confirmed by the design or electrical calculations. The black colour may be used in accordance with the wiring identification and marking system adopted for the specific installation.

    Important for designers and installers

    The standard, rated voltage, conductor material and class, insulation construction, temperature range, UV and ozone resistance, outer diameter, minimum bending radius and current-carrying capacity of the specific supplied cable batch must be checked against the manufacturer's or supplier's technical documentation. These parameters are intentionally not stated here until they are reliably confirmed specifically for KJ-4MM2.

    Why is cable cross-section important?

    A 4 mm² cross-section must be evaluated together with the parameters of the complete PV circuit. During design, the following should be considered:

    • maximum circuit current;
    • total cable route length;
    • permissible voltage drop;
    • module connection configuration;
    • inverter DC input parameters;
    • cable installation conditions;
    • ambient temperature and other operating factors according to the cable documentation.

    Main functions

    • Intended for electrical connections of solar modules and compatible PV equipment.
    • 4 mm² conductor cross-section.
    • Black cable.
    • May be used in PV module string cable routes if it meets the requirements of the specific project.
    • Suitable for use with compatible connectors selected according to the actual cable construction and dimensions.
    • Used as part of the energy transmission circuit of a PV system.

    Where is it used?

    • Electrical connections of solar modules.
    • PV module string cable routes.
    • Connecting solar modules to other compatible system components.
    • Connecting PV strings to the DC side of an inverter when the cable characteristics are suitable.
    • Residential solar installations.
    • Commercial and industrial PV installations.
    • Installation of new systems and reconstruction of existing PV systems.

    Use by requirement

    Solar installers
    Suitable for 4 mm² cable routes when this cross-section is confirmed by the system design and electrical calculations.
    Designers
    Cable cross-section should be evaluated according to circuit current, route length, voltage drop and the technical data of the specific cable.
    PV system repairs
    May be used when replacing or extending a 4 mm² cable route, but the parameters of the new cable must be compatible with the existing system equipment and connectors.

    Practical application

    When designing a solar module string, the maximum current, cable route length and permissible voltage drop are calculated. If the calculations confirm a 4 mm² cross-section, KJ-4MM2 may be used as part of the corresponding PV cable route, provided that the technical characteristics of the actual supplied cable batch are checked for compatibility with the system DC voltage, connectors and installation environment.

    When to choose 4 mm² and when 6 mm²?

    4 mm² may be suitable when calculations based on circuit current, cable installation conditions and permissible voltage drop confirm this choice.

    6 mm² may be selected when a lower voltage drop is required or when a larger cross-section is required by the design calculations and actual installation conditions.

    PV system cable and ordinary installation wire are not the same choice

    The same conductor cross-section does not mean that different cable types are interchangeable. Solar installation cable routes may have specific requirements for DC voltage, insulation construction, temperature, environmental exposure and installation method.

    Therefore, an ordinary installation wire should not automatically be used instead of a cable intended for a specific PV system simply because it also has a 4 mm² cross-section. The declared technical characteristics of the specific cable must always be checked.

    Advantages

    • Clearly specified 4 mm² cross-section.
    • Intended for solar module system connections.
    • Black colour for use within the installation's cable identification system.
    • Suitable for projects where a 4 mm² cable has been specified by calculation.
    • May be used with compatible PV system connectors.
    • Suitable for new and reconstructed PV cable routes when project requirements are met.

    Limitations

    • A 4 mm² cross-section alone does not confirm suitability for all PV systems.
    • For longer routes, 4 mm² may not meet the specified voltage-drop criterion.
    • H1Z2Z2-K, EN 50618 or any other standard must not be assumed automatically.
    • 1500 V DC or any other rated voltage must not be assumed automatically.
    • UV, ozone, temperature and mechanical resistance must be verified from manufacturer documentation.
    • Connectors must be selected according to the actual cable diameter and construction.

    Safety and installation notes

    • Select the cable cross-section according to maximum circuit current, cable length and permissible voltage drop.
    • Before installation, check the rated voltage and other manufacturer-declared parameters of the specific cable batch.
    • Do not exceed the minimum bending radius specified by the manufacturer.
    • Use only connectors compatible with the cable cross-section and outer diameter.
    • Crimped PV connectors must be installed only with the appropriate tool and according to the connector manufacturer's instructions.
    • Mark polarity according to the project and installation documentation – cable colour alone should not be the only identification method.
    • Before commissioning, check polarity, connector quality and cable route condition.
    • PV system installation work should be carried out by qualified specialists.
