Key Features of VFD Cable

Superior EMI Performance
Foil and braid shields work together to contain low- and high-frequency noise from the VFD process. This helps operations run smoother and reduces signal interference for surrounding cabling and nearby machinery.

 

Dielectric Strength
The thicker insulation and better polymers in VFD cables can handle high frequency and voltage spikes. These spikes are common in VFD applications and can harm weaker cables.

 

Corona Discharge Resistance
Some VFD designs use multiple wires and ground connections to minimize spurious voltages and common mode currents. They may also have semi-conductive layers that help drain and reduce excess voltages and reduce corona. This improves the reliability of the cables.

 

 
VFD Cable Construction
 
01/

Conductor
A standard cable configuration contains three conductors made from copper or tinned copper. Copper is a good conductor of electricity because electrons can move freely throughout the metal.

02/

Grounding
Grounding safely discharges electricity to prevent a major shock. Most applications utilize a single ground wire or three-symmetrical grounds. However, there are many other configurations available in the event of a special application.

03/

Shielding
VFDs create a lot of electrical noise during operation. Shielding prevents electrical noise and current from escaping the system, while also keeping out electrical noise from other applications.

04/

Insulation
Insulation must be sturdy and dependable to provide continued protection. It should be able to resist damage in a number of situations, including crushing/compression, impacts, liquid spills, and many others.

Precautions for Using VFD Cables
1

Choose the Right Insulation and Shielding

For harsh environments, opt for XLPE insulation with overall foil + braid shielding.

2

Proper Grounding

Always ground the shield at both ends to effectively drain noise.

3

Cable Routing

Separate VFD cables from communication and control cables to reduce interference.

4

Preventive Maintenance

Regularly inspect for wear, abrasion or shield damage.

FAQ

Q: Can I use standard power cables instead of VFD cables?

A: No. Standard power cables lack the shielding and insulation required for VFD-driven motors, leading to EMI issues and premature failure.

Q: What’s the difference between servo cables and VFD cables?

A: Servo cables handle both power and feedback signals for servo motors, while VFD cables are optimized for delivering power to motors with variable frequency drives.

Q: How long do VFD cables last?

A: With proper installation, high-quality VFD cables can last 10 to 15 years in demanding industrial environments.

Q: How often should I replace VFD cable?

A: When properly installed, VFD cables can last over 5 years or more with minimal maintenance.

Q: Why can't ordinary cables be used instead of VFD cables?

A: Ordinary cables are not designed to be optimized for high-frequency spikes and electromagnetic interference output by the inverter. In high-frequency environments, ordinary cables are prone to signal distortion, insulation aging, and noise caused by electromagnetic interference.

Q: How to choose a VFD cable for a specific application?

A: When selecting a VFD cable, the following factors should be considered:
Working environment: temperature, humidity, oil pollution and chemical corrosion.
Current and voltage requirements: Select a conductor with an appropriate cross-sectional area based on the actual parameters of the variable frequency drive and motor.
Shielding requirements: If the system is in a strong interference environment, it is recommended to choose a double-layer shielding design.
Installation method: Select the appropriate cable type based on the wiring length, bending radius and installation space.
It is recommended to communicate with professional suppliers or technical engineers, and refer to product test data and actual application cases to ensure accurate selection.
