Low Voltage VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) Cables are engineered to handle the electrical stresses associated with modern AC variable speed motor drives. Designed with flexible copper conductors, robust Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR) insulation, and collective screening with metallic braiding (steel, bronze, or copper), these cables effectively mitigate high-frequency electrical noise, electromagnetic interference (EMI), and voltage spikes. Encased in durable CPE or LSZH outer sheathing, they offer high resistance to oil, chemicals, moisture, and impact for reliable power transmission in industrial, commercial, and infrastructure motor control environments.
Technical Features
High-Performance Noise Shielding: Engineered with a collective screen paired with metallic braiding (steel, bronze, or copper) to effectively suppress electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) generated by high-frequency VFD switching signals.
Superior EPR Insulation: Features Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR) insulation that provides exceptional dielectric strength, resisting high-voltage spikes, reflected wave phenomena, and corona discharge inherent in pulse-width modulated (PWM) inverter outputs.
Flexible Conductor Construction: Built with flexible Class 5/6 copper conductors for easy routing through tight industrial enclosures, cable trays, and conduit bends while accommodating continuous motor vibration.
Industrial-Grade Outer Sheathing: Protected by a tough Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE) or Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) outer jacket, delivering outstanding resistance to oils, chemicals, moisture, mechanical impact, and thermal expansion.
Multi-Standard Compliance: Designed and tested in accordance with international and regional standards, including IEC 60502-1, IEC 60287, IEC 60288, and AS/NZS 5000.1.
Applications
Industrial Motor & Pump Control: Connects variable frequency drives to AC induction motors, centrifugal pumps, industrial fans, and compressors in manufacturing and chemical processing plants.
HVAC & Building Automation: Powers variable-speed chillers, air handling units (AHUs), and water circulation systems in commercial buildings and infrastructure facilities.
Conveyors & Material Handling: Ideal for drive-to-motor interconnections on automated conveyor lines, overhead cranes, and mining equipment where electrical noise mitigation and cable flexibility are critical.
Buyer Guidance
Shielding & Braiding Selection: Choose collective screening with tinned copper or bronze braiding for maximum high-frequency noise protection near sensitive instrumentation; select steel braided variants for enhanced physical and mechanical protection in heavy industrial zones.
Jacket Compound (CPE vs. LSZH): Select CPE sheathing for harsh industrial environments exposed to oil, grease, and aggressive chemicals; choose LSZH sheathing for enclosed commercial or public infrastructure installations where low smoke and non-toxic fire emissions are mandatory.
Conductor Sizing & Peak Voltage: Verify conductor cross-sectional area and current rating based on continuous motor horsepower and run distance, ensuring the cable's insulation class is rated to handle peak drive voltage spikes.
