Can this be used for the VFD/Spindle cable?

Hey RikR,

seriously, you need only 5 m, why not buy a real spindle cable. Using two conductors where you need one is nothing serious.

Also this cable is not made for any sort of motion. And seriously, is it really a solution to have it break all the time just because you have 300 m of replacement?

A spindle cable usually looks this way:

@Aiph5u

I use LAPP ÖLFLEX® CLASSIC FD 810 CY , in the strength 4 x 2.5 mm² (LAPP #0026271) for the 2.2 kW spindle or 4 x 1.5 mm² (LAPP #0026251) for a 1.5 kW spindle (=shielded 3+PE ).

@Aiph5u

• On the output of the VFD, i.e. the spindle cable, you should use shielded 3+PE for the three-phase spindle, like shown here:

See this thread for more information.

This is best industry quality, and the price was 5.87 € per meter (incl. 19% VAT), so 29.35 € in total (LAPP No. 0026271 ÖLFLEX FD CLASSIC 810 CY 4G2,5 for a 2.2 kW spindle).
