● In stock
Description
Belden 29524C is a Belden Basics VFD cable designed for Variable Frequency Drives (VFD), AC motor and drive systems, and Class 1 Division 2 hazardous locations. It features 3 circuit conductors of 8 AWG stranded (7x16) bare copper with XLPE insulation and ICEA Chart M4 color coding, plus a 10AWG symmetrical segmented ground made from (3) of 14AWG bare copper strands. For noise control and grounding continuity, it uses an overall dual copper tape helically applied shield with 100% coverage. The cable is finished with a black PVC outer jacket with ripcord and carries 600 / 1000 V (TC-ER) and 90°C Dry, 90°C Wet ratings, along with SUN RES, DIR BUR, and Oil Resistant markings.
