AutomationDirect: New LUTZE DRIVEFLEX AND MOTIONFLEX VFD Cables
November 23, 2022
AutomationDirect has added new LUTZE DRIVEFLEX and MOTIONFLEX variable frequency drive cables which provide supreme protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI).
These cables are available in 18 to 8 AWG sizes and include four black conductors with a green/yellow ground conductor of the same gauge. Each conductor is labeled for easy identification and is covered in a cross-linked Polyethylene (XLPE) insulation (type XHHW-2) that is oil and sun resistant, suitable for dry, damp, or wet locations, and approved for direct burial.
The DRIVEFLEX series has a black PVC outer jacket ideal for stationary applications, while the MOTIONFLEX series has a black thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) outer jacket designed for continuous motion applications. Both cables are tray cable-exposed run rated (TCER) for use in cable trays with or without conduit, which can significantly reduce installation costs.
The new DRIVEFLEX series cable starts at $2.58 /ft. and the MOTIONFLEX series cable starts at $3.67 /ft. Both cables are made in the USA and can be ordered cut to length in 1-foot increments with a 10ft minimum.
