General Cable Anaconda® Brand Type VFD-BGC Power 500MCM Shielded Round Portable w/Extensible Ground-Check EPR CPE 2000 Volts Three Conductor

General Cable Anaconda® Brand Type VFD-BGC Power 500MCM Shielded Round Portable w/Extensible Ground-Check EPR CPE 2000 Volts Three Conductor

Product Details

Conductor:2 AWG thru 500 kcmil coated annealed copper, bunched wires, rope-lay-stranded per ASTM B172

Insulation: Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR) insulation, colored 

Ground-Check Conductor: 
• Coated copper, specially stranded to provide extensibility without sustaining tensile load, thereby providing maximum resistance to flex fatigue 
• Insulated with high-strength polypropylene and placed in the center interstice 

Grounding Conductors: Three coated copper, rope-lay-stranded per ASTM B172 

Shield:  A flexible coated copper braid shield under an aluminum tape provides protection from radiated noise and a low transfer impedance path for the high frequency components of PWM signals 

Jacket:  Reinforced, two-layer, extra-heavy-duty, lead-cured Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE) 

Jacket Marking: GENERAL CABLE® ANACONDA® BRAND (SIZE) 3/C TYPE VFD-BGC 2000 VOLTS 07-KA140006 MSHA

 Options: 
• Colored jackets are available 
• Anamaxx® jacket 

Applications: 
• Designed for use as a trailing cable on AC mining equipment: 
  - From the inverter to the motor on variable frequency drive (PWM) systems
  - Where radiated EMI is causing interference with nearby systems 
  - Where a ground-check conductor is required for fail-safe ground monitoring
  - With wireless ground monitoring systems
 
Features: 
 • Flexible overall shield provides shock hazard protection 
 • Symmetrical grounding system does not produce induced voltages when operating in a balanced three-phase system and minimizes common mode current in PWM drive systems 
 • Enhanced ground-check conductor has longer flex life and durability 
 • Excellent heat, moisture, steam, oil, chemical and radiation resistance 
 • Flexible for easy handling
 • Resists cutting, impact, abrasion, flame and sunlight 
 • Excellent thermal stability and physical properties over a broad temperature range
 • Two-layer jacket is reinforced to provide maximum protection from mechanical damage— the cause of most portable cable failures 

Compliances: 
• Meets flame test requirements and is accepted for listing by MSHA 
• Approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection 

Packaging: Material cut to length and shipped on non-returnable reels
