About:

The Okoseal Strand Bare Copper Shield X-Olene Binder Tape PVC 600/1000V VFD Cable is designed for use in variable frequency drive (VFD) applications. It is engineered to handle the unique electrical challenges associated with VFD systems, such as high-frequency noise and voltage spikes. This cable features Okoseal PVC insulation, X-Olene binder tape, and a bare copper shield to ensure reliable performance and durability.

Also Known As:

• VFD Cable
• 600/1000V VFD Cable
• Okoseal VFD Cable

Application:

• X-Olene shielded Type TC-ER cables are used to supply power to motors from variable frequency drives, where an economical design is desired. These cables can also be used for other power, lighting, control or signal circuits; indoors or outdoors; in cable trays, raceways, direct burial, or where supported by messenger wire; for Class 1 circuits as permitted in Article 725 of the NEC; and in cable trays in Class I, Division 2 hazardous locations in industrial establishments where the conditions of maintenance and supervision assure that only qualified persons will service the installation. Cables marked TC-ER may also be used between a cable tray and the utilization equipment or device, when installed in accordance with NEC 336.10(7).

Standards:

• UL 1277: Electrical Power and Control Tray Cables with Optional Optical-Fiber Members
• UL 1685: Standard for Vertical-Tray Fire-Propagation and Smoke-Release Test for Electrical and Optical-Fiber Cables
• IEEE 1202: Standard for Flame Testing of Cables for Use in Cable Tray in Industrial and Commercial Occupancies
• ICEA T-29-520: Vertical Cable Tray Flame Test

Construction:

• Conductor: Uncoated soft copper perASTM B3. Sizes smaller than 8 AWG are compressed stranded per ASTM B-8. Sizes 8 AWG and larger are compact stranded perASTM B-496.
• Insulation: X-Olene per ICEA S-95-658/ NEMA WC70 and UL44, Listed ULType XHHW-2.
• Conductor Identification: Sizes 14, 12 and 10 AWG color-coded insulation per ICEA S-73- 532/NEMA WC57 Method 1, Table E-2 color sequence. Sizes 8 AWG and larger black insulation with surface printing of numbers and colors per ICEA S-73 532/NEMA WC57 Method 3, Table E-2.
• Grounding Conductor(s): Three bare soft copper perASTM B-3. Sizes 10AWG and smaller are compressed stranded per ASTM B-8, and sizes 8 AWG and larger are compact stranded per ASTM B-496. Meets or exceeds requirements of NEC Table 250.122.
• Shield: A 5 mil bare copper tape is helically applied with 25% minimum overlap.
• Jacket: The Okoseal (PVC) compound meets and exceeds the requirements of UL 1277 as tested in accordance with UL1581.
