Common Voltage Ratings for VFD Cables
Voltage Rating Typical Applications
300/500V Control circuits, PLC interfaces, sensors, encoders
600/1000V Standard motor power supply (VFD to motor)
2000V (2kV) High-frequency VFD outputs with voltage spikes
3.3kV+ Large motors, mining, oil & gas, and heavy industry


       

Typical VFD Cable Construction
Layer Description
Conductor Flexible stranded copper (Class 5 or 6)
Insulation XLPE, EPR, or PVC for thermal/electrical resistance
Shielding TCWB (Tinned Copper Wire Braid), aluminum foil + braid (EMC grade)
Inner Jacket PE, PVC, or LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
Outer Sheath Oil-resistant PVC, PUR, or LSZH for harsh environments
Ground/PE wires Optional three symmetrical grounds or concentric system
Capacitance control Used in long runs to minimize common mode current

*Selection Tips:      

  • Long runs/high interference: Use double shielding (aluminum foil + copper braid) and ground shield at both ends

  • Tight spaces: Choose PUR outer jacket cables for superior flexibility

  • Fire-sensitive areas: Use LSZH jacketed cables for smoke-free installations

  • Combined power + signal: Use hybrid VFD cables with integrated feedback/control pairs
