Treotham Treoflex TA6 EMC‍-‍UV cable

Click2Contact

The Treoflex TA6 EMC-UV cable from Treotham is a high-performance motor cable (MMC) designed for variable-frequency drive (VFD) applications. It features a transparent orange, UV-stabilised PVC outer sheath, providing both durability and visual appeal by allowing the braid to remain visible. Internally, the conductors are insulated with cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), which enhances current-carrying capacity while ensuring low cable capacitance relative to traditional PVC-insulated cables.

Structurally, the cable features a symmetric 3+3PE core arrangement, with conductors spaced at 120° intervals, which promotes balanced voltage distribution across the motor terminals. For improved electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), the TA6 includes a double screening system, combining aluminium foil and a tinned copper braid. It is designed to operate in temperatures ranging from –40 to 90°C and to withstand 0.6/1 kV voltage, having passed rigorous test voltages of up to 2.5 kV.

Available in a wide range of sizes — from 1.5 to 300 mm² — the cable is adaptable for both fixed and mobile installations in dry or damp industrial environments. Its low capacitance, UV resistance, flexible structure and robust EMC shielding make it a suitable choice for delivering clean, interference-free power to motors driven by inverters.
