Slash Infrastructure Costs Without Sacrificing Reliability: Shenghua’s YJLV Aluminum Cables Deliver 40% Savings​​

​​Engineered for Solar Farms, Grid Upgrades & Harsh Environments​​

As global renewable energy investments surge past ​​$2 trillion annually​​ (IEA 2025), project developers face a critical challenge: balancing budget constraints with uncompromising performance. ​​Shenghua Power Cable​​ solves this equation with ​​YJLV Series Aluminum Conductor Cables​​—​​IEC 60502-certified​​ solutions that reduce costs by ​​40% versus copper cables​​ while matching current-carrying capacity. Validated in 850+ MW of solar installations and rural grid modernization projects, our aluminum-core technology redefines value engineering for sustainable infrastructure.

​​Solar & Grid Applications: Where Shenghua Excels​​

1. ​​Photovoltaic Farms​​:

   • ​​3×150mm² PV Array Cables​​: XLPE insulation withstands ​​90°C continuous heat​​ in desert solar fields (e.g., Saudi Arabia’s NEOM project), while UV-resistant PVC sheathing prevents degradation under intense irradiation

Applications

For laying indoors and outdoors. Able to bear certain traction during installation, but not external mechanical forces. Laying single core cable in magnetic ducts is not allowed.

Standards

International: IEC 60502, IEC 60228, (IEC 60332-3 for FR-type only)

China: GB/T 12706, (GB/T 18380-3 for FR-type only)

Other standards such as BS, DIN and ICEA upon request

Installation

1. The installation temperature should not over 20℃, If the ambient temperature is lower than 0℃, the cable should be preheated.
2. The bending radius of cable should not less than 8 times.
