[0165] The factors affecting the setting of the preset heat resistance performance threshold include:

[0166] Insulation layer and sheath materials: Different materials have different tolerance to high temperatures. Therefore, the insulation layer and sheath materials of the cable are key factors affecting the setting of the heat resistance threshold.

[0167] Conductor material: The conductivity and heat resistance of the conductor material will also affect the overall heat resistance of the cable; pure copper conductors have higher conductivity and better heat resistance, which can reduce the operating temperature rise and improve the current carrying capacity and heat resistance of the cable;

[0168] Cable specifications: The cross-sectional area, outer diameter and other dimensions of the cable will affect its heat dissipation performance and heat resistance. A larger cable cross-sectional area usually has better heat dissipation performance, which can reduce the operating temperature of the cable and thus improve heat resistance.

[0169] Cable structure design: Reasonable structure design can enhance the mechanical properties and heat resistance of the cable;

[0170] Working temperature range: PV systems are usually installed in outdoor environments and need to withstand harsh weather conditions such as high and low temperatures. Therefore, the setting of the heat resistance threshold needs to consider the heat resistance of the cable within the working temperature range.

[0171] Working environment conditions: Ultraviolet rays and ozone in outdoor environments have an aging effect on cable materials; therefore, the setting of the heat resistance threshold also needs to consider the changes in the heat resistance of the cable under long-term exposure to ultraviolet rays and ozone;

[0172] Cable service life: PV cables have a long service life and need to withstand long-term harsh environments. Therefore, the setting of the heat resistance threshold needs to consider the stability and reliability of the heat resistance of the cable in long-term operation.

[0173] Cable reliability requirements: As the core component of solar energy utilization, the stability and reliability of the photovoltaic system directly affect the efficiency and cost of solar power generation; therefore, the setting of the heat resistance performance threshold needs to meet the photovoltaic system's high reliability requirements for cables;

[0174] The S6 step can effectively control the quality of photovoltaic cables and ensure that they can maintain good performance under high temperature and other harsh environmental conditions, thereby ensuring the stable operation and long life of the entire photovoltaic system; in addition, this method also helps to continuously improve product quality and enhance the manufacturer's brand reputation.

[0175] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
