VSD/EMC Cables (Copper Tape Screened), 0.6/1kV
Application
These cables are used to supply motors from variable speed controls unenclosed, enclosed in conduit, mounted on tray, or in underground ducts for industrial plants, where not subject to mechanical damage. They are designed to significantly reduce radiated interference from electrical noise by using
symmetrical, balanced and screened construction.
