Like all DRIVEFLEX cables, the new A219 series was designed with flexibility in mind. With a 7.5 OD bending radius, the flexible design of the A219 series saves time and money during installation by improving ease of stripping and handling. The three symmetrical ground design reduces stray currents in the motor shaft and bearings, extending the lifetime of the motor. The superior construction of DRIVEFLEX A219 2 kV VFD cable offers the following benefits:
- UL listed 2000 V flexible VFD servo cable for the most demanding VFD applications
- UL Listed 2000 V TC-ER for installation in cable trays and exposed runs
- Superior capacitance and impedance values, which reduces voltage spikes and current issues caused by VFDs
- RHW-2 thick wall insulation for added safety in wet and dry locations
- Available in a wide range from 6 AWG to 750 MCM.
All LUTZE DRIVEFLEX VFD cables feature thermoset XLPE insulation which offers superior electrical performance and improved safety for any VFD application compared to power tray cables with PVC/nylon insulation. These cables adhere to UL 508A, NFPA 79 and NEC requirements for code compliance on VFD cables and offer additional approvals for industry specific applications.
