Series V 3-Conductor VFD Cables Enhanced Design for Superior Performance S eries V cables for variable-frequency drives (VFD) set the standard in high-performance and reliable connectivity. Their specially formulated cross-linked polyethylene insulation provides superior corona resistance, low capacitance for longer runs, and excellent low-temperature properties. The three-conductor cables feature a symmetrical design with the bare copper ground wires placed in the interstices of the conductors for uniform conductor-to-ground capacitance and impedance. This uniformity reduces the probability of motor damage from common-mode current. • R educed chance of cable failure from voltage irregularities such as harmonics, corona discharges, and power distortion • Reduced diameter for space savings • Increased flexibility for easier routing and easier handling • Symmetrical round design for uniform electric properties • L ow capacitance for improved signal transmission over longer distances • O il-resistant PVC jacket and polyethylene insulation • D ouble shielded for maximum EMI protection • C ompatible with VFD drives from all major manufacturers • Sold in bulk or cut to length Alpha Wire US/International 1-800-52 ALPHA | Europe: +44 (0) 800 288 8809 www.alphawire.com | [email protected] AL_1323_VFD_Flyer.indd 1 10/7/09 11:04 AM Specifications Materials Conductors Stranded tinned copper Ground Wires Stranded tinned copper Insulation Cross-linked polyethylene ShieldingAluminum/polyester/aluminum foil and tinned copper braid with 85% coverage (16 – 4 AWG) Double-layer copper tape (2 – 4/0 AWG) Jacket Premium PVC, black Electrical Voltage600 volt (UL Type TC-ER) 1000 volt (UL Type Motor Supply) Physical & Mechanical Temperature Range -40°C to +90°C Approvals UL Standard 1277, Type TC-ER, 90°C, 600 Volt CE-LVD: 73/68/EEC Amend. 93/68/EEC UL Direct Burial UL Sunlight Resistant UL Type XHHW-2 UL 1581 Vertical Tray UL 1000 Volt Flexible Motor Supply Cable CSA FT-4 Vertical Tray CSA AWM I/II A/B XHHW-2 Singles IEEE 1202/383 Vertical Tray MSHA RoHS Compliant Series V 3-Conductor VFD Cables Part No. Wire Size Stranding Shielding Insulation Thickness Jacket Thickness Nominal Diameter AWG mm AWG mm Inch mm Inch mm Inch mm V16316 16 1.32 26/30 26 x 0.25 Foil/Braid 0.046 1.1 0.05 1.3 0.468 11.9 V16314 14 2.09 41/30 41 x 0.25 Foil/Braid 0.046 1.1 0.065 1.7 0.538 13.7 2 V16312 12 3.31 65/30 65 x 0.25 Foil/Braid 0.046 1.1 0.065 1.7 0.578 14.7 V16310 10 5.37 105/30 105 x 0.25 Foil/Braid 0.047 1.2 0.065 1.7 0.642 16.3 V16308 8 8.53 133/29 133 x 0.28 Foil/Braid 0.061 1.5 0.065 1.7 0.798 20.3 V16306 6 13.57 133/27 133 x 0.36 Foil/Braid 0.061 1.5 0.085 2.2 0.924 23.5 V16304 4 21.58 133/25 133 x 0.45 Foil/Braid 0.061 1.5 0.085 2.2 1.05 16.7 V16302 2 34.32 133/23 133 x 0.57 Tape 0.061 1.5 0.085 2.2 1.157 29.4 V16001 1 43.28 133/22 133 x 0.64 Tape 0.056 1.4 0.085 2.2 1.197 30.48 V16000 1/0 54.58 133/21 133 x 0.72 Tape 0.056 1.4 0.085 2.2 1.294 32.77 V16020 2/0 68.85 133/20 133 x 0.81 Tape 0.056 1.4 0.085 2.2 1.399 35.56 V16030 3/0 86.9 133/19 133 x 0.91 Tape 0.056 1.4 0.085 2.2 1.517 38.53 V16040 4/0 109 133/18 133 x 1.02 Tape 0.056 1.4 0.085 2.2 1.653 41.98 GLOBAL HEADQUARTERS 711 Lidgerwood Avenue Elizabeth, NJ 07207-0711 USA Toll Free: 1-800-52 ALPHA Tel: 1-908-925-8000 Fax: 1-908-925-5411 E-mail: [email protected] EUROPE Alpha Wire International Sunbury Int’l Business Centre | Brooklands Close | Windmill Road Sunbury-on-Thames | Middlesex | United Kingdom | TW16 7DX Tel: +44 (0) 800 288 8809 Fax: +44 (0) 800 288 8810 E-mail: [email protected] ©2009 Alpha Wire.
