Wind Turbine Cable
Wind Turbine Cable
Allied Wire & Cable’s line of Wind Turbine Cable consists of our WTTC rated GreenLINX™ Wind Power Cable. Wind turbine cable requires high quality, durability and high performance to withstand the rigors of wind power environments. Wind turbine cables can be exposed to several different forces, including Mother Nature. Oil, solvent, chemical and fuel resistant, GreenLINX ™ wind turbine cable can withstand these forces and more.
Allied carries five different types of wind turbine cable, all part of the GreenLINX™ line of wind power cable. All five types are WTTC, 1000 volt rated, constructed of bare copper conductors. Standard Flex and Megaflex Wind Turbine Cable have solid polyvinyl chloride fillers, while VFD and Premium Flex Wind Power Cable have FR-Fibrillated Polypropylene filler. While Standard Flex Wind Power Cable has nylon tape insulation, Megaflex and Premium Flex cable have expanded polytetrafluoroethylene tape insulation. WTTC Rated Servo Cable differs from them all in that it does not have taped insulation or fillers.
GreenLINX™ Wind Power Cable gets its name from the recyclable materials used to manufacture it. Not only are these wind turbine cables used to generate a green form of power, they’re made from green resources to create a truly green source of energy.
The UL requires WTTC rated cable for use as wind turbine cable. This rating is relatively new; in the past, there were no specific ratings given to wind turbine cable. As a result any cable could be used, which led to costly maintenance and repairs. Using a WTTC rated cable will not only help you save on repair costs, but will help you get the most out of your application as well.
