VFD Power Cable, 2kV

Application

These 2kV power cables specifically engineered for use in variable frequency AC motor drive (VFD) applications. Suitable for use in Class I, Division 1 and Zone1 environments (armored and sheathed).

Construction

Conductor Soft annealed flexible stranded tinned copper per IEEE 1580Table 11.
Insulation Cross linked flame retardant polyolefin, meeting the requirements for Type P of IEEE 1580 and Type X110 of UL 1309/CSA 245.
Color Gray with printed phase I.D. (Black-White-Red)
Filers Non-hygroscopic filler tape.
Shield Overall tinned copper braid plus aluminum/polyester tape providing 100% coverage.
Inner Sheath A black, arctic grade, flame retardant, oil, abrasion, chemical and sunlight resistant thermosetting compound meeting UL 1309/CSA 245 and IEEE 1580.(otional)
Armor Tinned copper basket weave wire armor per IEEE 1580and UL 1309/CSA 245(otional)
Outer Sheath A black, arctic grade, flame retardant, oil, abrasion, chemical and sunlight resistant thermosetting compound meeting UL1309/CSA 245 and IEEE 1580.
