Free-hanging vertical run
Class 5 flexible copper cores and cross-linked EPR / silicone / PCP rubber jackets survive >10,000–18,000 yaw drip-loop torsion cycles.
Product
WK 300w-Torsion 1.8/3 kV (6.5 kV AC Test) +110 °C UV & Heat-Resistant Wind Turbine Torsion Cable (DIN VDE 0250 / IEC 60502-1) engineered for 1.8/3 kV wind turbine service across -50 to +110 °C (min. bend radius 5 × OD).
Typical values for this cable type, based on DIN VDE 0250 & IEC 60502-1 WK 300w-Torsion (>18,000 Cycles) Wind Specification — confirmed in the datasheet and quotation for your order.
Application fit
WK 300w-Torsion 1.8/3 kV (6.5 kV AC Test) +110 °C UV & Heat-Resistant Wind Turbine Torsion Cable (DIN VDE 0250 / IEC 60502-1) engineered for 1.8/3 kV wind turbine service across -50 to +110 °C (min. bend radius 5 × OD).
Class 5 flexible copper cores and cross-linked EPR / silicone / PCP rubber jackets survive >10,000–18,000 yaw drip-loop torsion cycles.
Routes continuously from nacelle generators and yaw/pitch cabinets through the free-hanging drip loop into upper tower trays.
Polychloroprene (CR/PCP), CPE, silicone (FDGG) and PUR (FDGU) sheaths resist hydraulic oil, grease, ozone, salt spray and −40 to −55 °C co
Copper-braid screened variants (FDEFP, FDEHP, WINDLINK WTTC) contain PWM converter electromagnetic interference along the drip loop.
Wind turbine vertical torsion rubber cable is optimized for axial twist rather than high-speed trolley festoons.
