VFD Cables Reduce Cost

Oct. 2, 2009
V Series cables designed specifically for the needs of variable-frequency drives are now available in a three-conductor version, providing a smaller, less expensive configuration than the vendor’s four-conductor V Series cables. 
The cables use a combination of materials and symmetrical geometry to minimize problems from voltage irregularities such as harmonics, corona discharges, and power distortion. The three-conductor cables feature a symmetrical design with the bare copper ground wires placed in the interstices of the conductors for uniform conductor-to-ground capacitance and impedance. Available in wire sizes from 16 AWG to 4/0 AWG, the oil- and sunlight-resistant shielded cables have a PVC jacket and a temperature range from -40°C to +90°C. Alpha Wirewww.alphawire.com800.522.5742
