1. AWM achieved a 630 A rating from the Renewable Energy Test Center, making their offerings qualified to support Sungrow’s 4.4-MW SG4400UD-MV modular inverter in North America.
2. AWM’s solutions meet IEEE and NEC requirements and are rated to comply with UL2703 standards for mounting systems and grounding.
3. AWM’s all-metal wire management solutions provide benefits such as reduced construction costs, enhanced safety, consistent performance, and increased longevity for utility-scale solar projects.
Affordable Wire Management (AWM) has achieved a 630 A rating from the Renewable Energy Test Center (RETC), making their Cable Management System (CMS) the first in the industry to achieve this rating. This qualifies their offerings to support Sungrow’s latest modular inverter in North America. Sungrow’s VP of strategy and marketing praised AWM’s innovations for managing the increased requirements of the new inverter safely.
AWM’s solutions meet IEEE and NEC requirements, as well as UL2703 standards for mounting systems. Unlike alternative options like plastic hangers, AWM’s all-metal CMS provides a bonded metal-on-metal connection, ensuring long-term durability in utility-scale solar projects. The RETC evaluated AWM’s CMS beyond the standard 200-A current rating to achieve a bonding rating of 630 A, meeting the needs of Sungrow’s latest inverters.
AWM’s CEO highlighted the importance of selecting the right components for utility-scale projects to ensure long-term reliability. By providing all-metal solutions, AWM supports cutting-edge technological advances in the industry, leading to reduced construction costs, enhanced safety, consistent performance, and increased longevity. Their comprehensive CMS includes various cable hangers and lock-out solutions designed specifically for utility-scale solar projects. Additionally, AWM’s expanded hardware offerings, announced in early 2024, further enhance their support for the industry.
