How do I select the right control cable? Selection table for control cables
The selection of the right control cable depends on the conditions of use of the cable. There are a number of features and criteria that must be taken into account when making the selection. An essential feature is the voltage class. Typically, control cables have a voltage class of 300/500 V. Other voltage classes are also possible. Other voltage classes may also be required, e.g. 450/750 V or 0.6/1 kV.
Important features of a control cable concern the basic structure of the cable such as:
- Shielded or unshielded
- Number of cores and cross-section
- numbered cores or coloured cores
- with or without inner sheath
- Choice of outer sheathgeschirmt oder ungeschirmt
The selection of the right outer jacket is of particular importance.
The following questions must be answered:
- What is the temperature range of the cable?
- What voltage class is required?
- Which standards, approvals or certifications are required?
- Will the control cable be exposed to mechanical loads?
- With which media does the cable come into contact? (oil resistance, chemical resistance)
