The Wiley ACC-FF180 is a specialty designed cable clip engineered for compatibility with short module flanges. Constructed of corrosion-resistant stainless steel, this clip installs straight on or at 180° to flanges down to 12-mm in length and is capable of securing 1 or 2 wires up to 8-mm diameter.
The CPS 4:1 AC Combiner is designed for CPS 100/125-kW three-phase string inverters to optimize system design, installation, and wire management. The units combine the output of up to four CPS 100/125-kW inverters allowing a cost-effective solution for simplifying system designs and minimizing AC wire losses.
Create custom labels and signs to identify components, communicate hazards and more. The DuraLabel Toro Solar kit includes our popular mobile printer, intuitive pre-installed software and an assortment of durable supplies. Design 1/2-in. to 4-in. labels from scratch or use time-saving templates. Toro includes a built-in touchscreen, a keyboard and a five-year warranty.
The Megger MIT2500, a 2.5-kV insulation resistance tester, is the ideal tool for testing insulation resistance in 1,500-V PV systems. It assures you that AC or DC currents are not finding destructive paths to ground. The MIT2500 includes a ‘guard terminal’, allowing the instrument to measure insulation accurately while ignoring the effects of surface leakage.
Panduit’s Metal Solar Edge Clips can be installed without additional tools in an average of 10 seconds faster than standard cable ties. In addition, the product has been tested in harsh outdoor conditions to ensure its durable enough to pair with IEC 61215 standard panels, further reducing costs over time.
The FDX 20 ensures continuously reliable data transmission for solar array communication. With a compact design and patented pigtail tray, the FDX 20 is perfectly sized for convenient splicing and correct bending radius. It is available for single and multimode fiber applications and LC, SC, ST and E200 connector variants.
Integrated cable hanger for messenger wire holds two 500-kcmil cables and one ground cable with a quick snap closure for safe and easy installations. The low-profile hanger reduces damage to conductors and provides for loads up to 65 lbs with 30 years of UV protection in extreme weather conditions.
