Application A flexible, braid and foil shielded, 2kV power cable specifically engineered for use in variable frequency AC motor drive (VFD) applications. Features n Specially engineered cable design produces a longer cable life in VFD applications. n Overall braid plus foil shield is engineered with 0% coverage and a surface transfer impedance <50 milliohms at MHz to contain EMI. n Symmetrical insulated ground conductors reduce induced voltage imbalances and carry common mode noise back to the drive. n High strand count conductors and braid shield design is much more flexible, easier to install and more resistant to vibration than Type MC cable. n 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. n 2kV insulation thickness is used to resist the potential 2-3x reflected voltages experienced in 00V VFD applications. n Passes the same stringent crush and impact testing required by UL 2225 for Type MC-HL n Gas & vapor tight impervious to water and air n Smaller bend radius (up to 0% smaller) than Type MC n Reduced tray fill (up to 35% less) compared to Type MC n Considerably more flexible than Type MC n Reduced installation time and cost compared to Type MC n Glands for this product cost up to 50% LESS than those for Type MC 1 Manufactured by Nexans AmerCable (70) 2-919 (00) 3-151 Fax (70) 2-913
