Power Conductors (x3): Soft annealed flexible stranded tinned copper per IEEE 1580 Table 11. 

Ground Conductors (x3): Soft annealed flexible stranded tinned copper per IEEE 1580 Table 11. Gexol® insulation sized per UL 1277. Color: Green

Insulation (2kV): Gexol® cross-linked flame retardant polyolefin, meeting the requirements for Type P of IEEE 1580 and Type X110 of UL 1309/CSA 245. Color: Gray with printed phase I.D. (Black- Red-Blue) 

Shield: Overall tinned copper braid plus aluminum/polyester tape providing 100% coverage. 

Jacket: A black, flame retardant, oil, abrasion, chemical and sunlight resistant thermoplastic compound meeting UL 1309/ CSA 245 and IEEE 1580. 

Safer to Handle: CIR® has no sharp metal armor edges that imperil worker’s hands during splicing and installation of connectors 

Application: A flexible, braid and foil shielded, 2kV power cable specifically engineered for use in variable frequency AC motor drive (VFD) applications.

Features: 
• 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 common mode noise back to the drive.  
• High strand count conductors and braid shield design is much more flexible, easier to install and more resistant to vibration than Type MC cable.  
• Gexol’s lower dielectric constant (standard XLPEs, EPRs and other Type P insulation materials have higher dielectric constants) reduces reflected wave peak voltage magnitudes. This allows for longer output cable distances and minimizes the effect of high frequency noise induced into the plant ground system.  
• 2kV insulation thickness resists the repetitive 2x voltage spikes from 600V VFDs and reduces drive over current trip problems due to cable charging current
• Passes the same stringent crush and impact testing required by UL 2225 for Type MC-HL
• Gas & vapor tight – impervious to water and air  
• Smaller bend radius (up to 40% smaller) than Type MC  
• Reduced tray fill (up to 35% less) compared to Type MC  
• Considerably more flexible than Type MC  
• Reduced installation time and cost compared to Type MC  
• Glands for this product cost up to 50% LESS than those for Type MC
