Description
SIWO-KUL® S10 cables are required when high flexibility and high temperature conditions are present; they are mainly used for connecting MV Drives to motors.
SIWO-KUL® S10 12 kV cables are specifically engineered for use in variable frequency AC motor drive (VFD) applications.
Construction
- Copper conductor tinned, flexible IEC 60228, class 5
- Tape (up 16 mm²)
- Semi-conductive layer (only for 6.6 and 12 kV)
- Silicone rubber insulation
- Semi-conductive layer (only for 6.6 and 12 kV)
- Tinned copper braid
- Separator tape
- Protective synthetic yarn braiding, PUR varnished
The use of silicone rubber, a high grade corona resistant insulation material, gives the cable excellent dielectric strength.
The braided synthetic yarn covering, which is applied directly over the insulation, gives the cable, because of its short braiding pitch and high compactness, an excellent mechanical protection by maintaining good flexibility.
Operating temperature for continuous service extends from –55°C up to 180°C.
These products are also part of our Windlink® offer for Wind turbines.
Approvals
These cables are UL (Underwriters Laboratories inc.) approved for Appliance Wiring Material (AWM), following styles 3640, 3641, 3642 and 3643, CSA File No.: 036040-0-000.
SIWO-KUL® S10 cables are in compliance with EU directive on the limits of certain metals and waste as defined on ROHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) and WEE (Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment).
SIWO-KUL® S10 is REACH conform (no substances benzene, C10-C13).
