Cable routing for photovoltaic systems

Cables outside the building are exposed to the weather. Rain, snow, heat, UV radiation and wind continually attack the PV system. OBO cable support systems combine the best possible protection with rapid mounting. 

Our product range comprises closed cable tray, wide span tray and mesh cable tray systems. With the mounting adapter, you can fix mesh cable trays to the OBO FangFix stones in a single action. The covers are secured to the flat roof by tightening straps.

Shielding of cables

The passive shielding of cables with OBO cable support systems with covers permits attenuation of up to 60 dB.

This means that electronic system components are protected against electromagnetic interference, and economic losses through failure or damage are prevented.

Area shielding

Direct and local lightning strikes create a magnetic field which causes induced currents in electrical and electronic systems.

Professional cable routing with the OBO TrayFix systems or optimised cable shielding, for example with EMC-tested cable support systems from OBO, can reduce the necessary surge protection measures, under certain conditions according to VDE 0185-305-4 (IEC/EN 62305-4).

Strain relief for vertical cable routing

When cables are routed vertically, appropriate strain relief must be ensured. Our product range comprises vertical ladder systems with various profiles for direct wall mounting, for free-standing mounting or mounting on existing steel structures.

Perfect protection in buildings

Even in buildings, cables are subject to mechanical loads, which can lead to the failure of the PV system.

Combination of the OBO products creates reliable protection of cabling, from the roof through to the inverter.
