Variable Frequency Drive Cable

Type TC-VFD

APPLICATION

Type TC -VFD 600/2000 Volts power cable is used to supply power to motors, or for connection to other power devices in industrial settings. Primary installations include cable trays, raceways, and outdoor locations where supported by a messenger wire. Type TC - VFD is listed for direct burial or in underground ducts and for use in Class 1, Division 2 hazardous locations and Class 1 control circuits. This cable may be used in wet or dry locations at temperatures not to exceed 90 C. Cable is designed for use with Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) applications and rated up to 2000 Volts.

  • ICEA S-95-658 (NEMA WC 70) (construction requirements)

CONSTRUCTION

Type TC - VFD 600/2000 Volt power cable is manufactured using Type RHH or RHW-2. Individual conductors are bare annealed copper covered with a cross linked polyethylene (XLP) insulation. The conductors are cabled together with fillers and three bare ground wires, shielded with an uncoated 5 mil thick copper tape (50% overlap) and covered with an overall flame retardant, moisture and sunlight resistant PVC jacket.

CONDUCTORS:

Class B stranded. uncoated annealed copper conforming to ASTM B-3 and B-8.

INSULATION:

Each conductor is insulated with black Crosslinked Polyethylene (XLP) conforming to ICEA S-95-658/NEMA WC-70, Table 3-7 and UL Standard 44 for Type RHH/RHW-2.

COLOR CODE:

Each conductor is black and printed with its conductor number in accordance with ICEA Method 4.

GROUND WIRES:

Three Class B stranded, uncoated annealed copper conforming to ASTM B-3 and B-8.

CABLE ASSEMBLY:

The three conductors and three ground wires are cabled with non-hygroscopic fillers.

SHlELD:

A 5 mil uncoated copper tape is helically wrapped over the twisted assembly with a 50% (nominal) overlap. The shield shall be in contact with the ground wire.

OUTER JACKET:

A black, flame retardant Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) jacket meeting the requirements of UL Standard 1277 is applied.
