VFD inverter to AC motor screened feeder
Low-capacitance EPR dielectric and ≥ 85 % 'C4' tinned copper braid suppress VFD common-mode EMI.
Product
S05BC4B-F (300/500 V), S07BC4B-F (450/750 V), and S1BC4B-F (0.6/1 kV) are EMC-screened flexible industrial rubber cables coded to CENELEC HD 361 and based on EN 50525-2-21. Built with +90 °C EPR core insulation ('B'), a tinned copper wire braid screen
Typical values for this cable type, based on EN 50525-2-21 / HD 361 / VDE 0285 — confirmed in the datasheet and quotation for your order.
Application fit
Engineered for EMC-sensitive industrial drives, frequency-converter motor leads, outdoor cranes, wind turbines, and cold-climate machinery requiring a screened +90 °C rubber cable.
Low-capacitance EPR dielectric and ≥ 85 % 'C4' tinned copper braid suppress VFD common-mode EMI.
Remains supple down to -40 °C for mobile outdoor machinery, cranes, and cold-store equipment.
Suitable for crane festoon systems requiring screened control and motor power leads.
Halogen-free EPR/EPR ('B/B') construction suits public infrastructure, tunnels, and wind towers.
Weather and splash proof; select AD8-rated S07RC4N8-F or S1BC4N8-F for permanent water submersion.
