Panel builders, system integrators, OEMs, machine builders, and industrial automation teams use VFD cable when control panels connect variable frequency drives to motors. For panel-related applications, VFD cable is commonly used in motor control panels, drive cabinets, pump control panels, conveyor systems, packaging equipment, automation systems, and other variable speed motor applications.
VFD cable is commonly selected because drive systems can create electrical noise, voltage spikes, grounding concerns, EMI/RFI issues, and common-mode current. Shielded VFD cable helps reduce electrical interference and supports reliable drive-to-motor performance in demanding industrial environments. Belden VFD cable constructions may include XLPE-insulated circuit conductors, tinned copper conductors, foil or braid shielding, symmetrical grounds, oil- and sunlight-resistant jackets, and TC-ER ratings for tray and exposed-run installations.
AWC supplies Belden VFD cable in multiple gauges and constructions to support panel shop inventory, project-based builds, replacement needs, motor control systems, and repeat industrial applications. Contact Allied Wire & Cable for help with VFD cable availability, cut-length needs, documentation, grounding configuration, shielding requirements, TC-ER ratings, or product selection for your VFD panel, drive cabinet, motor control, pump, conveyor, packaging, or automation application.
