Low Smoke Halogen-Free Type VFD Cable2kV • Rated 110°C • Gexol®-HF Insulation

ApplicationA flexible, braid and foil shielded, 2kV power cablespecifically engineered for use in variable frequencyAC motor drive (VFD) applications where a lowsmoke halogen-free insulation is required.

Features� Low smoke and halogen-free.� Specially engineered cable design produces

a longer cable life in VFD applications.� Overall braid and foil shield provides 100%

coverage containing VFD EMI emissions.� Symmetrical insulated ground conductors reduce

induced voltage imbalances and carry commonmode noise back to the drive.

� High strand count conductors and braid shield design is much more flexible and easier than IEC 60092-350 series cables to install.

� Gexol-HF’s lower dielectric constant (standardHFXLPE, HFEPR insulation materials have higher dielectric constants) reduces reflectedwave peak voltage magnitudes. This allows for longer output cable distances and minimizesthe effect of high frequency noise induced into the plant ground system.

� 2kV insulation thickness resists the repetitive 2x voltage spikes from 600V VFDs and reducesdrive over current trip problems due to cablecharging current.

� Dual certified IEEE 1580 Type LSX and UL 1309/CSA 245 Type X110.

� Severe cold durability: exceeds CSA coldbend/cold impact (-40˚C/-35˚C).

� Flame retardant: IEC 332-3 Category A and IEEE 1202.

� Suitable for use in Class I, Division 1 and Zone 1environments (armored and sheathed).

� Optional braid armor of bronze, aluminum or tinned copper.

CPE Jackets

Blue Green Orange Yellow Red

Black(Standard)

AmerCable CPE JacketsAmerCable’s thermoset Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE) jacket provides the physical performance and strength needed to resist wear, tear, abrasion and compression cuts caused by everyday mining use.

This tough, durable jacket is a proven performer in mines throughout theworld. AmerCable’s engineered cable construction includes a taped-core,integral fill and tandem extrusion of the jacket layers. Two-pass jackets,extruded in tandem, yield an inseparable bond between the layers. Integralfilling of the cable core reduces torsion-induced damage.

AmerCable’s CPE colored jackets have the identical physical properties of ourstandard black jacket. These high visibility cables can improve mine safety by providing easy circuit identification.

AmerCable’s CPE and TPU Jackets offer bright, highly visible colors without sacrificing performance

Factory Installed Cable Assemblies from AmerCable are professionally assembled in our El Dorado, Arkansas manufacturing facility. Our team of experienced handlers join cables and connectors that match your exact specifications. Our assemblies are designed to perform in your harshest operating conditions.

Factory prepared cable assemblies or terminations are a reliable way to lower your overall cableconnectivity costs through enhanced reliability, reduced handling and lower installation time.

Tiger Term cables arrive ready for installation – saving you prep time and costs.

Our process involves properly removing copper shielding components and semi-conductive materials without damage to the underlying insulation. This is necessary for long-life and trouble-free operation.

Tiger Term is available on any cable 5kV or larger.
