XLPE/PVC, Power, Copper Tape 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 2000V. These motor drive systems require cables that are designed to prevent radio frequency interference (RFI) which can lead to malfunction . Also they are applied in raceways, cable trays or direct burial, wet or dry locations, permitted for use in Class 1, Division 2 industrial hazardous locations.
