Helukabel has added two new motor
connection cables to its Topflex product
family – the Topflex-EMV-UV-3 PLUS
2XSLCYK-J and the Topflex-EMV-UV-
2XSLCYK-J – which have conductor
temperature resistances of 90°C.
A higher current load rating is possible
due to the improved conductor
temperature resistance of 90°C.
This enables a smaller cross section
compared to standard cables to be used
when designing electrical networks in
machines or systems.
In addition to the resulting lower costs
and use of copper, the much smaller outer
diameter offers advantages for installation
in tight spaces due to an increase in the
cable‘s maximum bending radius.
The Topflex-EMV-UV-3 PLUS 2XSLCYK-J is
constructed using a three conductor plus
three symmetrical ground configuration
for improved concentricity and creating
an electrically ‘balanced’ cable.
It is available in sizes 16 AWG to 500kcmil.
The Topflex-EMV-UV-2XSLCYK-J uses a
traditional three conductor plus full-size
ground structure and comes in sizes 16
AWG to 350kcmil.
The latest Topflex cable products are
jacketed using a special PVC compound,
double shielded and use XLPE insulation
on the inner conductors, which makes
them suitable for applications that
experience high voltage spikes and
have long cable runs due to their low
capacitance.
Both cables are suited for supplying power
to frequency converters while ensuring
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
in systems, buildings and facilities from
devices and operating equipment, which
can emanate electromagnetic interference
and cause impermissible malfunctions.
They are both designed for medium
mechanical loads in both fixed and
occasional flexing installation in wet
rooms or outdoors. They are suitable
for use in the automotive, food and
packaging industries, in environment
technology, washing machines, handling
devices, pumps, fans, conveyor belts
and air conditioning devices. Their use in
explosive environments is also possible.
Both Topflex products are UV resistant,
self-extinguishing and flame retardant in
compliance with DIN VDE 0482-332-1-2
and DIN EN 60332-1-2.
The low transfer impedance results in
good electromagnetic compatibility.
The materials used are free of silicone,
cadmium and substances harmful to the
wetting properties of lacquers.
