Screened Control Cables for Variable Speed Drives

Variable speed drives are electrically noisy neighbours, and control circuits running nearby can pick up all of it. Screened control cables from AP Technology help protect those circuits from interference, keeping control signals stable and reducing nuisance faults. They are commonly used in panel to machine wiring on pumps, fans, conveyors and machine tools. Remember that the screen needs terminating correctly at both the cable and the enclosure, which is where EMC glands earn their keep. When standard cable will not do, a bespoke cable can be designed around the electrical, environmental and approval requirements of the job. Once the design is done, AP Technology produces a drawing and data sheet for you to check before a quotation is submitted. Nothing goes ahead on assumptions, and you see precisely what is proposed before committing any budget. AP Technology holds over 750 cable types in stock at its London warehouse, with access to thousands more through strategic partnerships. The range takes in servo, encoder, robotic, control, power, bus, instrumentation, electronic and data, audio and video, and fibre optic cable.

Partners include Tecnikabel, TKD and Nexans, which gives you a wide choice of constructions and approvals without needing a separate vendor for each. Buying is kept straightforward. There is no minimum order value on stocked products, cable can be cut to the lengths you need, and repeat requirements can be placed on scheduled or call-off orders. Custom labels and packaging are also available, which helps when parts are going straight to a production line or out to a site team.
