Helukabel
has
announced
the
addition of a cross-linked (thermoset)
polyethylene (XLPE) insulated control
cable, suitable for industrial equipment
manufacturers in Canada and any who
export to the United States.
The new Tray X is an NFPA 79-2012
tray-rated, flexible control power cable
suitable for machinery in tool and plant
construction, and can be installed in dry,
humid or damp environments, in pipes,
underground, or in open, unprotected
installation from the cable rack to
industrial plant machinery.
They are 600V and WTTC 1,000V rated,
for use in 1kV wind turbine cable tray
applications.
The XLPE insulation, with its low
capacitance, is suited toapplications that
require long cable runs, and conductor
temperature resistance of 105°C allows a
higher current load rating and a smaller
cross-section when installing in small
spaces.
Tray X is currently available in sizes 20
AWG to 500kcmil in various conductor
configurations and with a shielded variant
if required.
