Built for the Harsh Realities of VFD Applications
VFDs unlock efficiency, but they also generate electrical noise, harmonics, and voltage spikes that destroy standard tray cable. When nuisance trips and insulation failures start creeping in, it’s usually the cable telling you it wasn’t designed for the job.
LUTZE DRIVEFLEX® VFD Cables were built for this exact environment. They use thermoset XLPE insulation and dual shielding to deliver stable motor performance. Flexible Class K stranding and durable PVC jacket provide easy handling and installation in any industrial setting.
If you work with advanced drives—like the Siemens SINAMICS G220 featured by SE Automation—DRIVEFLEX® ensures your motor lead cables match the capabilities of your drive system.
This quick video overview highlights why DRIVEFLEX® outperforms standard tray cable—especially across long motor leads, high switching frequencies, and electrically noisy environments.
Why DRIVEFLEX® Performs Better
VFD outputs are harsh: fast switching, high-frequency noise, and elevated voltage spikes. Thermoplastic insulation struggles here, which leads to premature breakdown.
DRIVEFLEX® solves it with:
- Thermoset XLPE insulation for low capacitance & high voltage breakdown resistance
- Dual shielding (foil + braid) for reliable EMC performance
- Flexible Class K stranding that makes routing faster and easier
- UL Listed for Flexible VFD Servo Cable & Flexible Motor Supply Cable
- NFPA 79-compliant construction
If you want help selecting the right DRIVEFLEX® series (A106–A220), SE Automation’s Technical Solutions Team can assist with engineering guidance and cable-to-drive matching.
The Benefits that Matter on the Plant Floor
- Time Efficient – Easier routing, smaller ODs, and flexible construction speed up installation.
- Process Efficiency – Low capacitance supports stable motor performance and fewer trips.
- Safer & More Reliable – XLPE insulation reduces risk of corona discharge and overheating.
- Cost Saving – Longer lifespan = fewer failures, fewer service calls, less downtime.
