Conductors: Soft annealed stranded tinned copper per ASTM B 33. A polyester tape separator is used over the conductor.

Insulation: Bostrig Type P chemically cross-linked polyolefin (XLPO), meeting IEEE 1580 (2001).

Ground Conductors: All Bostrig Type P-VFD Cables listed in this specification sheet are built using system grounds equal to the aggregate cross-section of a phase conductor and can be in contact withor isolated from the overall shield. A system ground is REQUIRED for supplying power from the switchboard to the inverter and then to the motor. If the VFD cable is only being used between the motor and the inverter, a cable with a lesser ground can be utilized.

Shield: Braided tinned copperand aluminum polyester tape for 100% coverage

Jacket: Flame-retardant Arctic Neoprene, complying with Type N Neoprene as required in IEEE-1580. Thickness as shown in tables on opposite page.

Armor (optional): Braided bronze in accordance with IEEE 1580.

Sheath: Flame-retardant Arctic Neoprene applied over the armor, complying with Type N Neoprene as required in IEEE 1580. Thickness as shown in tables on opposite page.

Applications:
• Bostrig™ Type P shielded three conductor VFD Marine and Offshore Cable is designed specifically for use with variable frequency AC motor drives. This cable is designed to significantly mitigate the deleterious effects of high frequency harmonics and electromagnetic interference (EMI) on the motor /drive system as well as the adjacent environment.
• Bostrig™ VFD cables have excellent resistance to oil, abrasion, moisture, vibration, sunlight, and ester based muds (Type P- MR). They are suitable for use in Class 1, Division 1 offshore applications (armored and sheathed) and complies with UL 1277 Type TC-ER extended runs requirements.
• The standard insulation has a continuous operating temperature of 125°C, allowing for higher ampacity levels. These cables also meet cold bend requirements of -40°C and cold impact of -35°C (CSA 22.2 N0. 0.3).
• This product may be manufactured in an unarmored or armored and sheathed version.
