Can I harness an FOC cable in the field myself?

igu-blog-adm | 5. July 2019

GOF & PCF fibres can be harnessed in the field only with an enormous amount of work and equipment. As the risk of faults, contamination, splicing errors etc. is very high, the customer is usually advised not to do this. Apart from this, expensive special tools and specialist knowledge are needed for harnessing. In the case […]

What class of conductor is the most durable for energy chain applications?

igu-blog-adm | 5. July 2019

A general answer cannot be given to this question. Experience shows that, for durable, highly flexible cables, general information on the class of conductor cannot be provided. In principle, higher conductor classes are appropriate for dynamic cables (Class 5, Class 6). However, thin wires tend to lead to worse results as very fine wires become […]

What are the maximum transmission lengths of an Ethernet cable?

igu-blog-adm | 4. July 2019

According to general standards, the maximum transmission length in such a cable is 100 metres. This length consists of 90 metres of stationary cable and two times 5 metres for movement. This description is derived from practice, in other words from the area of building services technology. In buildings, the wiring is fixed in place […]

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

igu-blog-adm | 4. 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 in […]
