In utility-scale solar, efficiency and cost savings are pivotal. As plants expand, traditional string cabling shows critical flaws: excess cables, slow installation, high transmission losses, and steep labor costs. Bus tap cable harnesses solve these issues, and JERA LINE’s TAP-BUS PV Cable Harness Connectors lead this innovation, setting new efficiency standards for off-grid solar plants globally.
Traditional linear cabling causes inefficiencies throughout a plant’s lifecycle. It demands excessive cable lengths (raising material costs and losses), requires skilled technicians for stripping/crimping (prolonging timelines), and has multiple connection points (increasing failure risks and maintenance needs).
For utility-scale projects prioritizing scalability and cost-effectiveness, these flaws are prohibitive—driving developers and EPCs to adopt bus tap cable harnesses as a smarter alternative.
JERA LINE’s TAP-BUS PV Cable Harness Connectors: Key Features Driving Efficiency
JERA LINE’s TAP-BUS Connectors target traditional cabling’s core issues, with efficiency, usability, and reliability at their core. Key features include:
1. Insulation Piercing Technology (IPT): No More Stripping, No More Hassle
JERA LINE’s Insulation Piercing Technology (IPT) eliminates cable stripping and combiner boxes. Connectors pierce insulation for secure, low-resistance contacts, cutting installation time and reducing reliance on specialized technicians.
2. Reduced Cable Length and Transmission Losses
The TAP-BUS system’s “cable piercing” design minimizes total cable usage by linking panels directly to main bus cables. Larger conductors and low-resistance connections reduce network losses by up to 50% versus traditional setups, boosting energy yields.
3. Built-in Reliability and Overcurrent Protection
TAP-BUS solar connectors integrate overcurrent protection (mini-switches, fuse holders) to limit current, prevent tampering, and enhance safety. Mini-switches support 5,000–15,000 cycles; fuse holders (e.g., FHp-435-1038) handle 0.4–1.0 KV AC and 4–50 mm² cables.
4. Versatile Product Range for Every Project Need
JERA LINE’s diverse TAP-BUS lineup fits all project needs: ZOP series (e.g., ZOP-3: 16–95 mm² main, 4–35 mm² branch) and MULTITAP MTTc series (e.g., MTTc-12: 185–400 mm² main).
