About PV Solar Straight connectors EMPV4 and EMPV4N
PV Solar Straight connectors EMPV4 and EMPV4N with plug and socket design are constructed using flame retardant engineering thermoplastic suitable for exposure to UV rays and for application in PV power generation system. Superior Electrical PerformanceEMPV4 and EMPV4N connectors offer a contact resistance of 0.5m and ensure over 97% efficiency, delivering minimal power loss even at high currents. The crimp connection provides a stable conductivity pathway, helping to maximize system output and ensuring reliable operation under heavy loads up to 30A and 1000V DC.
Robust and Safe ConstructionManufactured from UV-resistant, flame-retardant PPO and tin-plated copper, these connectors withstand harsh outdoor environments. They pass the stringent UL94-V0 flame class and self-extinguishing standards, guaranteeing safety during operation. The locking mechanism and IP67 waterproof rating make them perfect for all weather conditions.
Simple Installation and MaintenanceWith a plug-and-play design and crimp/lock technology, EMPV4 and EMPV4N connectors allow quick and secure installation in the field. Manual disconnect (with the appropriate tool) ensures safe servicing whenever needed. Designed for low maintenance, they are a practical choice for solar field engineers and installers.
FAQ's of PV Solar Straight connectors EMPV4 and EMPV4N:
Q: How are EMPV4 and EMPV4N connectors installed with solar cables?
A: Installation requires crimping the connector to a compatible 2.5mm2, 4.0mm2, or 6.0mm2 cable, ensuring the cable's outer diameter matches the 4.5-7.0mm range. After crimping, the connector is plugged and locked in place. Manual disconnection can be performed with an appropriate tool if maintenance is needed.
Q: What advantages does the IP67 protection offer for my solar installation?
A: IP67 means the connector is completely protected against dust ingress and can withstand immersion in water (up to 1 meter for 30 minutes) when mated. This ensures durability and reliable performance in challenging outdoor environments, regardless of weather conditions.
Q: When should these connectors be used in a solar setup?
A: EMPV4 and EMPV4N connectors are ideal for connecting solar panels, strings, and extension cables, especially when high current (up to 30A) and high voltage (up to 1000V DC) compatibility is required. They should be used during the initial installation or any time reliable, safe, and quick connections are necessary.
Q: What makes PPO and tin-plated copper materials beneficial in these connectors?
A: PPO (polyphenylene oxide) provides high UV resistance, flame retardancy, and mechanical strength, while tin-plated copper ensures excellent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance. This combination delivers long-term safety and reliability for outdoor solar connections.
Q: Are EMPV4 and EMPV4N connectors compatible with all types of solar cables?
A: They are specifically designed for cables with cross-sections of 2.5mm2, 4.0mm2, or 6.0mm2 and an outer diameter between 4.5mm and 7.0mm. Always verify your cable specifications to ensure compatibility for optimal performance and safety.
Q: What is the process for disconnecting these connectors during maintenance?
A: Disconnection is performed manually using a specific tool designed for these connectors. This prevents accidental unplugging and maintains high safety during servicing or reconfiguration of your solar system.
Q: Where can these connectors be sourced in India?
A: EMPV4 and EMPV4N connectors are available through authorized distributors, exporters, suppliers, and traders across India. For high-quality and reliable procurement, choose trusted industry providers specializing in solar equipment.
