Variable frequency AC motor drive output cables
are subject to harsh operating environments
characterized by high voltage spikes, high noise
levels and adverse environmental conditions.
Typical cabling solutions for this application have
been unshielded tray cables, single-conductor lead
wire installed in conduit or continuously-welded
armored cable. These solutions suffer from complex,
costly installation and potential reliability problems.
Belden Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) Cables
were designed and engineered to overcome
these challenges.
　

The Challenge of VFD Applications
VFD cables carry power from AC drive systems to
AC motors. As a result, these cables must handle
not only the overall high power levels of the
pulse-width modulated (PWM) signals, but also
the extremely high voltage which can occur when
standing waves develop on the conductors. This
high voltage can cause corona discharge between
the conductors of conventional cables, causing
damage not only to the cabling itself, but also
to the motors, bearings, drives and related
equipment. In turn, this damage can cause failure
of the entire drive system, resulting in costly
production downtime.
　

Limitations of Conventional VFD Cables
In addition to experiencing failures due to corona
discharge and adverse environmental conditions,
conventional cabling is difficult and expensive to
install. Armored cable and lead wire in conduit are
cumbersome and heavy and require extremely large
installation bending radii, making installation both
time-consuming and labor intensive. Yet they still
do not solve noise and corona dishcarge problems,
nor do they effectively address the high levels of
noise generated by VFDs.
　

The Belden VFD Solution
Only Belden's series of VFD Cable in gauge sizes
from 16 to 4/0 provide the robust construction
required to deliver superior electrical performance
and reliability, even in the most demanding
industrial environments.
　

Thicker, Industrial-grade
XLPE Insulation
• Provides more stable electrical
performance than PVC
• Lower capacitance resulting in
- Longer cable runs
- Reduced peak motor terminal
voltage for extended motor life
- Reduced likelihood of corona discharge
- Reduced magnitude of standing waves
- Increased efficiency of power transfer
