Robust wire management solutions
One of the most underrated conversations when talking about PV system safety
is wire management. Damaged wire insulation can lead to ground-faults, system downtime, and re. PV systems are installed in various environments, conditions, and by di erent processes
so having accurate information to create
a solid wire management strategy is essential. BURNDY has an extensive
wire management product portfolio. Everything from UV rated nylon 6/6, nylon 12, 304 stainless steel cable ties and clips. e Wiley ACC Clips are all constructed of 304 stainless steel. ey have performed extensive testing on these clips including, but not limited to a 500 hour salt spray and UL 2703 temperature (200 cycles between -40°C and 90°C) and humidity cycling (10 cycles between -40°C and
85°C at 100% humidity). e combination of material construction and extensive testing shows that the Wiley ACC clips are robust wire management solutions. BURNDY | www.hubbell.com/wiley/en/
