AutomationDirect: Instrumentation & PLTC Cables

December 8, 2020

AutomationDirect offers 300V UL Instrumentation Cable available with 16 AWG, 18 AWG or 20 AWG conductors in 1, 2, 4, or 8 twisted pairs with an overall shield or in 2, 4, or 8 individually shielded twisted pairs with an overall shield.

  • The overall shielded cables have an aluminum/polyester foil shield with 100% coverage and a tinned copper continuous drain wire for protection against external electrical noise interference.
  • Cables with both individually shielded pairs and an overall shield have aluminum/polyester foil shields with 100% coverage complete with separate tinned copper continuous drain wires for maximum effectiveness against both external electrical noise interference and crosstalk between pairs.
  • Individual conductor pairs are stranded bare copper with black and white premium grade PVC insulation and marked with alpha-numeric print for easy identification. The cable’s outer jacket is a black premium grade PVC that is sunlight and moisture resistant.
  • A convenient 22 AWG orange PVC insulated communications conductor (talk wire) is included on 16 AWG & 18 AWG multi-pair cables.

 

Industrial Applications

These instrumentation cables are dual listed as UL 2250 Type ITC (Instrumentation Tray Cables) and UL 13 Type PLTC (Power Limited Tray Cables).

  • Type ITC cables can be used for instrumentation and control circuits operating at 150 volts or less and 5 amperes or less as described in NEC Article 727.
  • Type PLTC cables can be used for Class 2 and Class 3 remote-control, signaling, and power-limited circuits as described in NEC Article 725. Additionally these cables are permitted for use in hazardous locations as described in NEC Articles 501 through 505.

Bel-Fuse: Expanded Line of 3PH Series Three Phase Transformers for Industrial and Medical Applications Now Available

Bel Fuse Inc has recently announced that its Signal Transformer division released the expansion to their 3PH Series of Three Phase Dry Type Transformers targeted for use in medical, industrial, lighting, electric vehicle charging and green energy applications. Adaptable to multiple requirements, these rugged isolation transformers are designed and permanently configured for a 3 phase DELTA input and a WYE output. A value-added electrostatic shield (ESS) between input/output windings attenuates line noise by preventing feed-through of undesirable signals and serves as a safety feature in the event of single fault conditions.
