Is it permissible to operate the cable with the test voltage?

Marco Thull | 5. July 2019

No, the test voltage is used to check the insulation strength of the cable. This check requires special safety precautions and only takes place with low levels of current in order to protect the cable against damage during the test. Vote Up +0 Vote Down -0You already voted!

What jacket material colour is the most suitable for applications exposed to UV light?

igu-blog-adm | 5. July 2019

Basically, it can be said that the darker, the better, as there are more protective colour particles in such colours. For this reason, black is the best colour in terms of durability under exposure to UV light. Vote Up +0 Vote Down -0You already voted!

How does the capacitance of a drive cable become noticeable in practice?

Marco Thull | 5. July 2019

The capacitance between cores is the ability to store energy in the cable. The result of this stored energy is that, in the case of a drive cable, the inverter has to put additional energy into transfer of the electrons. It is therefore desirable to keep the capacitance of the cable as low as possible […]

What does the term “NEXT” mean?

Marco Thull | 5. July 2019

The NEXT value indicates the extent to which the cross-talk between two neighbouring core pairs in a cable is suppressed. Cross-talk is due to electromagnetic fields that occur as a result of signal transmission and are induced into the other core pair. The Near End Crosstalk value indicates how strongly the signal of a core […]
