Why are there two values for the nominal voltage?

Marco Thull | 8. July 2019

The first value indicated for the nominal voltage is the maximum permissible voltage between phase and earth, whereas the second value indicates the maximum permissible nominal voltage that is measured between two outer conductors (phase to phase). Vote Up +0 Vote Down -0You already voted!

What cable is most suitable for a chemical environment?

Marco Thull | 8. July 2019

Unfortunately, there is no general answer to this question. We have numerous different materials that can be selected in relation to the media involved and the influence they exert. ThePUR & iguPUR mixtures have good resistance to many different types of oil. For more aggressive media such as bio-oils, ammonia and so on, TPE material […]

Up to what length do USB cables function?

Marco Thull | 8. July 2019

The maximum possible length of USB cables varies considerably and is defined in the bus specification for USB. The maximum lengths are different and depend on whether USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 is concerned. For USB 2.0, the maximum cable length is approximately 5m, for USB3.0 approximately 3m. But the cable length can vary from […]

What is the maximum temperature that the conductor can cope with according to DIN? (CU, CUZN, CUNI…)

Marco Thull | 8. July 2019

In principle, the temperatures occurring under load within a conductor differ according to what material is used. Pure copper has the best conductivity. However, the insulation used and the surface temperature affecting the insulation are also decisive for the maximum permissible temperature of a conductor. Vote Up +0 Vote Down -0You already voted!

Why does the printing on TPE cables rub off quickly?

Marco Thull | 8. July 2019

The cable is not printed on thermally; the printing method used is similar to an ink-jet printer. As TPE material has the important property of low adhesion, the ink on it does not stay on as long as on a PVC jacket, for example. Vote Up +4 Vote Down -0You already voted!
