Nowadays,
variable frequency drives often serve in mission-critical process control
applications, and when they go down, they can bring production lines to a
standstill. Our engineers have recently
taken steps to eliminate an oft-overlooked weak link in drive reliability.
They
have developed a new cable that creates extremely robust power connections
between VFDs and motors. Called ÖLFLEX® VFD XL, this shielded motor
cable offers mechanical and electrical properties beyond those offered by
standard AWG motor cables. Among the improvements:
• Rugged PVC Jacketing Withstands Harsh
Conditions.
ÖLFLEX® VFD XL has been designed to perform in harsh conditions. It meets UL
Oil Resistance I and II standards. It also thrives in low temperatures and has
passed UL -25ºC Cold Impact and -40ºC Cold Bend tests. Maximum continuous use
temperature is 90ºC.
• Global Stranding Lowers DC
Resistance. Thanks
to its Class 5 conductor stranding, which meets both European and North
American standards, ÖLFLEX® VFD XL has a 14% or larger CMA than a comparable AWG cable. The larger CMA
contributes to a low DC resistance, making ÖLFLEX® VFD XL well-suited to long
cable runs.
• XLPE Improves Electrical Properties.
ÖLFLEX® VFD XL uses a cross-linked polyethylene insulation, which
enhances electrical properties that provides a lower dielectric constant to
improve the purity of the signal. Due to
the thicker cross linked polyethylene insulation wall
thickness cable design allows the cable to withstand voltage spikes, inrush
currents and other electrical disruptions that damage motor cables.
• Shielding Resists Noise. With its combination of triple-laminate
foil tape and 85% braid coverage, ÖLFLEX® VFD XL offers enhanced shield
effectiveness that eliminates external noise problems and internal signal
disruptions.
ÖLFLEX® VFD XL has UL and CSA TC approvals. Recommended applications
include VFD drive and motor connections for web presses, HVAC systems,
conveyors and many other types of industrial machines.
