SERIES V
ENHANCED DESIGN, HIGH PERFORMANCE,
SMALL DIAMETER VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVE (VFD) CABLES




ENGINEERING SPECIFICATION

Cables shall be Alpha Wire Company SERIES V Enhanced Design, High Performance, Small Diameter Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) Cables for long service life performance in Variable Frequency Drive Motor applications requiring resistance to voltage spikes caused by reflected waves, harmonic distortion and voltage irregularities which could result in a potential corona discharge and ultimately conductor insulation breakdown. SERIES V Enhanced Design VFD Cables are designed to provide Drive System reliability to reduce or eliminate downtime. Specially formulated XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene) insulated conductors provide excellent low capacitance and thermoset properties that insure excellent system performance. SERIES V is UL Listed Type TC-ER (600 Volt), UL 1000 Volt Flexible Motor Supply Cable and Exposed Run (-ER) compliant for use in and outside of cable carrying trays without the use of conduit or expensive metal clad cables, Direct Burial, Sunlight Resistant, CSA AWM I/II A/B 90ºC XHHW-2, FT-4 and CE compliant. Conductors shall be numbered 1, 2, and 3: black insulation with alpha-numeric printing (example: 1-one) conductor 4: green/yellow for ground (IEC Standard). Brake pair color code shall be black and white without numeric print.

Jackets shall be of a specially formulated, oil resistant PVC complying with the standards of UL and CSA as well as be compliant with the requirements of CE-LVD.

Completed cables shall be in compliance with the following certifying agencies standards:

  • UL Standard 1277, Type TC-ER, 90°C, 600 Volt
  • CE-LVD: 73/68/EEC Amend. 93/68/EEC
  • UL Exposed Run (-ER)
  • UL Sunlight Resistant
  • UL 1581 Vertical Tray
  • UL FT-4 Vertical Tray
  • UL Direct Burial
  • UL Type XHHW-2 (4/0 - 14 AWG Only), RHW-2 (2 - 14 AWG Only)
  • UL 1000 Volt Flexible Motor Supply Cable
  • CSA AWM I/II A/B XHHW-2 RHW-2 Singles
