Application A flexible, braid and foil shielded, 2kV power cable specifically engineered for use in variable frequency AC motor drive (VFD) applications. Features Specially engineered cable design produces a longer cable life in VFD applications. Overall braid and foil shield provides 100% coverage containing VFD EMI emissions. Symmetrical insulated ground conductors reduce induced voltage imbalances and carry common mode noise back to the drive. High strand count conductors and braid shield design is much more flexible, easier to install and more resistant to vibration than Type MC cable. Gexol s lower dielectric constant (standard XLPEs, EPRs and other Type P insulation materials have higher dielectric constants) reduces reflected wave peak voltage magnitudes. This allows for longer output cable distances and minimizes the effect of high frequency noise induced into the plant ground system. 2kV insulation thickness resists the repetitive 2x voltage spikes from 600V VFDs and reduces drive over current trip problems due to cable charging current.
