P/L LV AIRGUARD VFD - 09/2017
DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION
CONDUCTOR
Annealed Class B copper conductor
according to ASTM B3 & ASTM B8
from #14 AWG through 750 kcmil
multiconductor
INSULATION
Cross linked polyethylene (XLPE) XHHW-2
GROUND WIRES
Power cable conductors are assembled
with three (3) bare copper ground wires
per UL, ICEA, and ASTM
Control cable conductors are assembled
with one (1) green insulated ground
conductor
SHIELDING
A bare copper tape is applied over the
cabled assembly of phase conductors and
ground wires to provide 100% coverage of
the dielectric and provide for conduction of
common mode currents.
FILLER
Solid rubber filler
ARMORING/CHEMICAL BARRIER
Prysmian patented AIRBAG™ polymeric
armor/chemical barrier
OUTER SHEATH
PVC meeting the requirements of CSA 22.2
No. 03 -40/-35 °C cold bend/cold impact
or LSZH
Oil & Gas - Cable Solutions
ICEA S-95-658 (NEMA WC70)

Cu/XLPE/AIRBAG
TM
/PVC or LSZH
VFD Power and Control cables 0,6/1 kV. Flame retardant, polymeric armored, PVC or LSZH jacket.
APPLICATION
Low Voltage AIRGUARD™ VFD Power cables
are designed for variable frequency drive
applications in fixed installations in the harsh
environments found in the heavy industrial
markets. Its rugged polymeric AIRBAG™ armor
and chemical barrier makes it the ideal choicefor
tough, harsh, environmental conditions.
AIRGUARD™ cables provide the solutution to
the deficiencies often encounter with Type
MC-HL cables including armor breakage during
installation, applications requiring repeated
flexing, and in areas with high vibration.
