Extruded FEP insulated high voltage wire and cable offers exceptional dielectric strength without the disadvantages common to equally rated silicone rubber insulated cables. As a result, cable assemblies or cable bundles are of smaller diameter and therefore take up substantially less volume and have a smaller bend radius which allows the designer to better utilize the space within the system. It has good corona inception qualities and its construction gives it excellent durability and resistance to dielectric/cooling fluid degradation. While difficult to bond to, with the use of Reynolds proper...

High Voltage Wire FEP Wire Attributes CONDUCTOR OPERATING VOLTAGE (KVDC) Color: Natural Ordering: Use Part Number and specify length in feet/meters Note: Pre-conditioning of FEP wire or cable is recommended because FEP insulation will shrink when exposed to temperature cycling. Pre-conditioning should be conducted in an air circulating oven at 204°C (400°F) for one hour. Pre-conditioning should only be performed on cut lengths prior to stripping and any termination procedure. No attempt should be made to condition wire or cable in bulk form or while spooled.
