Belden 29528C, Variable Frequency Device Cable 3C 1 AWG 600V PVC

Belden 29528C is a Belden Basics VFD variable frequency device cable designed for Variable Frequency Drives (VFD), AC motor and drive systems, and Class 1 Division 2 hazardous locations. It is built with 3 x 1 AWG Stranded (19x14) Bare Copper Conductors and XLPE Insulation with ICEA Chart M4 color coding, plus a 5AWG symmetrical segmented ground (3 of 10AWG) in continuous contact with the overall shield. For noise control and drive performance, it uses an overall dual copper tape helically applied shield with 100% coverage. The black PVC outer jacket includes a ripcord and is rated 600/1000V and 1000 V (TC-ER) with 90°C Dry, 90°C Wet.
