What are Tray Cable CableS?

The Tray cable VNTC, VFD and festoon are a wide range of industrial power cables or multi-conductor control cable rated at 600 volts and are suited for use in cable trays, racetracks, conduits and outdoor use in applications where a messenger wire is supported. They are also used in industrial applications to power AC motors since they offer better control than DC drives and still improving the motor’s efficiency. These are designed and well suited for tough industrial applications.
The acronym VNTC stands for Vinyl Nylon Tray Cable while VFD stands for Variable Frequency Drive. Whenever you are in need of cable trays and variable frequency drives applications then these are the right cables suited for you. All these cables are readily available at Nassau Electrical a renowned supplier of cable and wire products.

These cables are available in different types of insulation, including THHN, THWN, XLPO, EPR, and XLPE. Some of the most common jacket materials include PVC and CPE. The most prominent benefit of these cables is their all-purpose use. Tray cables are flexible and relatively easy to maintain. Their wide price range allows choosing cables for every budget depending on the insulation type. Tray cables come in both 300v and 600v voltage range.

Types of tray cables available in Nassau National Cable include shielded cable, EPR/CPE, and THHN/PVC. The company also distributes cables produced by LAPP that use patented technologies to provide superior solutions.

 

Shielded tray cable is used in control circuits, power, and signal systems. VFD, a subtype of shielded cables, is used in motor drives, radar units, and information systems.

EPR/CPE is one of the most expensive types of tray cables of Class 1 Division 2. It has ethylene-propylene rubber insulation and a chlorinated polyethylene jacket. Typical uses of these cables include mining, oil fields, and refineries. Cables can be used in dangerous conditions with the possibility of explosions.

THHN/PVC is a budget-friendly type of tray cables suitable for mining and industrial applications. It belongs to Class 1 Division 2 as well. However, the cable performs slightly worse in hot temperatures because of the thermoplastic jacket. The cable is equipped with thermoplastic high heat-resistant nylon insulation and a polyvinyl chloride jacket.
