600/1000V XLPE Insulated, PVC Sheathed, Screened Power Cables (3C+3E)

CU/XLPE/CUTO/PVC 600/1000V Class 2

600 1000V XLPE Insulated PVC Sheathed Screened Power Cables 3C3E

Application:

The cables are designed specifically to suit the broad spectrum of requirements of Variable Speed Drives and also include features for reducing the transmission of electromagnetic interference.
These range of cables are able to reduce capacitance of power conductors and have an electrically balanced construction which includes split earths and a copper screen.
This range of screened cables drastically reduce interferences from electrical noise, especially in Variable Speed Drive (VSD) applications and are manufactured with fixed conductors.
With shield conductivity of 1/10th of phase conductor conductivity, this range of VSD cables effectively restrain radiated and conducted radio-frequency emissions.
STANDARDS: Basic design adapted to IEC 60502-1
