VFD Cable: Essential or Overkill? with Southwire™

In this TechTalk, Southwire explores the benefits of using Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) cables in industrial applications instead of standard THHN cables. VFD cables are specifically designed to handle the unique electrical characteristics and demanding operating conditions of VFD systems. This seminar covers the basics of VFD technology and how VFD cables can improve energy efficiency and equipment performance, leading to significant cost savings and reduced downtime. Topics include cable construction, insulation materials, shielding, and termination options. Watch now to gain a solid understanding of the benefits of VFD cables and how they can be applied to improve the efficiency and reliability of their VFD systems.

1st. Didn't realize Reynold's was doing training videos on TH-cam. Thanks.

Hello great video very Interesting. Can I ask I run a small 5Hp and 3Hp VFD on a Mill and Lathe at 240V. Would I need these cables from VFD to motor and would it be wise to fit the earthing rings to the motor shafts. Is this overkill on a small appliance like these thank you Terry

O! (in the sense of zero factorial) is 1, not 0. Otherwise, great video!
