VFD Cable
What is VFD Cable?
VFD is short for variable frequency drive. Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) Cables are commonly used to power AC motors in various industrial motion control, commercial flow/pumping, and extrusion applications. VFD Cables are typically used where standard cables cannot withstand the harsh electrical environment. These cables have variable and/or adjustable speed drives and are made of thermoset insulation with an oil and sun resistant PVD jacket.
VFD Cable Features
Ensure Uptime: Finely stranded tinned or bare copper conductors ensure easy installation and continued operation in harsh environments
Maximum System Reliability: Heavy, industrial-grade XLPE insulation performs at high and low temperatures
Motor Bearing Protection: Enjoy the largest grounds available for maximum noise control
Eliminate Noise Interference: Optimum shielded design prevents emissions and induction of noise currents
Enhanced Performance: VFD Cable Glands allow an explosion proof or general purpose ingress of VFD cables into enclosures and devices
Three Conductor 2kV VFD Cable Specification
Variable frequency drive cables are often referred to as variable-speed drives or adjustable-speed drive cables. These shielded vfd cables are used to power 3-phase AC electric engines in applications requiring greater control and power efficiency. Our VFD cables are generally available in 3+3 cores (3 cores plus 3 reduced sized earth conductors) or 4 cores.
