CONSTRUCTION-GRADE VS. HIGH-PERFORMANCE VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVE CABLE



Construction grade cables and high-performance variable frequency drive (VFD) cables differ in several key areas.
High performance VFD cables are constructed with high strand count flexible tinned conductors. Construction grade cables usually have only 7 or 19 bare copper strands as required by construction standards
High performance VFD cables are more stable thermally at the connection points.
High performance VFD cables are more flexible.
High performance VFD cables are preferred for high frequency drive output components due to the much larger conductor surface area compared to construction grade cable.
