600/1000V XLPE Insulated, LSZH Sheathed, Screened Power Cables (4cores)

FTX400 1RCZ1MZ1-R (CU/XLPE/CUTO/LSZH/SWA/LSZH 600/1000V Class 2)

APPLICATION

This cable is designed specifi cally to suit the broad spectrum of requirements of Variable Speed Drives and also

include features for reducing the transmission of electromagnetic interference. This range of screened cables

drastically reduce interferences from electrical noise, especially in Variable Speed Drive (VSD) applications and

are manufactured with fixed conductors. With shield conductivity of 1/10th of phase conductor conductivity, this

range of VSD cables effectively restrain radiated and conducted radio-frequency emissions.
