Original Press Release:
Belden Adds 2000 Volt Variable Frequency Drive Cables to Existing Line of Classic and Symmetrical VFD Cable Designs
RICHMOND, Ind., Oct. 5 / / - Belden (NYSE:BDC), a world leader in the development of signal transmission products for the industrial, enterprise, building management, broadcast, and security markets, announces the addition of new 2000 Volt VFD cable designs to its existing line of Variable Frequency AC motor drive cables. Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) regulate the speed of a 3-phase AC electric motor by controlling the frequency and voltage of the power they deliver to the motor. These drives are becoming prevalent in a wide range of industrial applications since they offer multiple benefits, including the ability to save substantial amounts of energy during motor operation, making them an attractive and economical "green" solution.
The new 2000V VFD Cable designs added to Belden's line include:
- Classic Design VFD Cables, 14 to 2 AWG, with Beldfoil® plus TC Braid
Shield. Similar to Belden's other classic VFD cables, this series of
seven cables features oversized XLPE insulation to provide the lowest
capacitance available in a VFD cable. Highly effective dual shielding
provides the lowest resistance to ground path, which improves common
mode current containment. The 85 percent braid coverage offers
optimum EMI low frequency noise protection, while the 100 percent
aluminum/Mylar tape shield offers RFI high frequency noise protection.
Also included in the smooth, round cables are full-size, insulated
green ground wires with a yellow stripe and drain wires for ease of
installation and termination.
- Symmetrical Design, Large AWG (1 to 4/0), with Spiral Copper Tape
Shield. Similar to Belden's other Symmetrical cables, this series of
five cables combines the benefits of Belden's classic VFD cables with
additional features for use on larger, more powerful AC motor drives.
Highly effective shielding provides a low resistance ground path,
which improves common mode current containment. Spirally applied dual
copper tape shields provide 100 percent coverage, coupled with
improved flexibility and EMI/RFI noise protection. Three symmetrical
bare ground wires provide a balanced ground system to reduce the
likelihood of premature motor bearing or motor insulation failure.
All of Belden's new 2000V UL 1277 Type TC-ER cables are UL rated for direct burial, feature black sunlight- and oil-resistant PVC jackets, and meet all applicable industry standards and specifications for VFD cables.
