Flame Retardant Power & Control Cables

600/1000V XLPE Insulated, PVC Sheathed, Screened Power Cables (4 Cores)

FGD400 1RCVMV-R (CU/XLPE/CUTO/PVC/SWA/PVC 600/1000V Class 2)

Flame Retardant Power & Control Cables

APPLICATION

This cables are designed specifi cally to suit the broad spectrum of requirements of Variable Speed Drives and also include features for reducing the transmission of electromagnetic interference. This range of screened cables drastically reduce interferences from electrical noise, especially in Variable Speed Drive (VSD) applications and are manufactured with fixed conductors. With shield conductivity of 1/10th of phase conductor conductivity, this range of VSD cables effectively restrain radiated and conducted radio-frequency emissions.

STANDARDS

Basic design adapted to IEC 60502-1
