Flexible VSD/EMC Cables, 0.6/1kV
Application
These cables are used for applications that require Electromagnetic Compatibilit (EMC), to minimise
any interference or disturbance, propagation and reception of electromagnetic energy with reference
to unwanted effects, and suitable for Variable Speed Drive equipment or other application requiring
screened cable.
