VFD cable organizes and protects variable frequency drive input and motor power wiring, and is designed to reduce VFD-related interference (EMI) on nearby equipment.
These shielded multi-conductor cables have a black thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) outer jacket, and are available with 4 conductors in up to 2 AWG wire size.
A variety of constructions and voltages are available including 600V, 2KV, 2KV armored & sheathed, and 8KV and 15KV medium voltage armored & sheathed. Grounding systems are offered in full conductor size, 3 symmetrical bare, and 3 symmetrical insulated. Shielding options include copper tape shield, tinned copper braid + poly aluminum tape, and tinned copper armor + aluminum poly tape. Whether onshore or offshore, in a refinery or on a platform, HWC has the right VFD power cable for your application.

Operating Voltage: 0.6/1 kV
Conductor: Stranded Annealed Copper (IEC/EN 60228, Class 5)
Insulation: XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene) Identification – HD 308 S2
Lay-up: 4 cores twisted together
Separator: Al-PET Foil
Screen: Tinned Copper Wire Braid
Outer Jacket: Halogen Free Flame Retardant Compound (LSZH) RAL 9005 – Black
Temperature Range Operating: -30°C…+90°C
Application: Used in frequency converter-controlled motors for control and/or power purposes, and suitable for use in dry, moist or wet environments in heavy industries. HFFR types are less flammable in case of fire, mostly self-extinguishing, have low smoke density and they do not emit poisonous and corrosive gasses during a fire.
3+3Core EMC VFD Cable for Variable Frequency Drives
Operating Voltage: 0.6/1 kV
Conductor: Electrolytic copper, class 5 (flexible),
Grounding Conductor: The grounding conductor is divided into three conductors; the equivalent cross section is approximately 50% of the section of the phase conductor.
Insulation: Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE)
4G : gray + brown + black + Yellow/Green (up to 10 mm2)
3x + 3G : gray + brown + black + Yellow/Green (3G) (from 16 mm2)
Screen: Aluminium-polyester tape screen, helically placed over the insulated conductors. Over the tape there is a tinned copper braid screen. The tape and the braid act as a double screen to cut out all of the electromagnetic interference.
Outer Jacket: Polyolefin LSZH outer sheath with ripcord to allows for ease of stripping of the outer jacket
