VFD inverter to AC motor screened feeder
Symmetrical 3+3E split-earth geometry and dual 100% foil + copper braid screen contain PWM inverter common-mode currents.
Product
M2XCH-EMC & LKSM-EMC 0.6/1–1.8/3 kV Dual-Screened Shipboard Propulsion & VFD Cable (IEC 60092-353) engineered for 0.6/1 kV – 1.8/3 kV service across -40 to +90 °C (min. bend radius 8 × OD).
Typical values for this cable type, based on IEC 60092-353 / IEC 60092-360 SHF1 & SHF2 EMC Class — confirmed in the datasheet and quotation for your order.
Application fit
M2XCH-EMC & LKSM-EMC 0.6/1–1.8/3 kV Dual-Screened Shipboard Propulsion & VFD Cable (IEC 60092-353) engineered for 0.6/1 kV – 1.8/3 kV service across -40 to +90 °C (min. bend radius 8 × OD).
Symmetrical 3+3E split-earth geometry and dual 100% foil + copper braid screen contain PWM inverter common-mode currents.
Low phase capacitance and transfer impedance prevent bearing currents and voltage reflection spikes on variable-speed motors.
SHF2-MUD or IEEE 1580 Type P XL-CPE jacket resists oil-based drilling mud, ester fluids and marine weathering.
Qualified for high-power drawworks, top drives, mud pumps and dynamic-positioning (DP) thruster drives.
Fixed VFD propulsion and rig feeder cable is not intended for high-speed crane festoon loops.
