XLPE/PVC, Power, Shielded 2000V, UL Type TC-ER—
Method 4 Color Code

Application

These cables are used for AC motors controlled by Pulse Width Modulated Inverter in VFD applications rated up to 2000 volts. These motor drive systems require cables that are designed to prevent radio frequency interference (RFI) which can lead to malfunction and raceways, cable trays or direct burial. Also they are applied in wet or dry locations, permitted for use in Class 1, Division 2 industrial hazardous locations per NEC.
