With the ever increasing expansion of global technology in our world today it has become necessary for countries including the U.S. to seek out and obtain newer more productive and cost effective products or even services from around the world.  It no longer takes days, weeks, or months to obtain some of the best and […]

The debate continues regarding the use of the newer Continuous Vulcanized (CV) cured rubber or the older lead cured rubber in the construction of mining cables, with mixed results.  In recent times there has been a strong push to bring CV cured jackets into the mining industry for a number of reasons including its “clean” […]

Low smoke zero halogen, or LSZH, refers to using compounds in the cable jacketing manufacturing process that are halogen free.  Materials that contain halogens emit potentially harmful gases when burned.  Halogen free cable, on the other hand, is made up of a compound called polypropylene, which will not produce a toxic smoke during combustion.
Halogens are […]

Variable frequency drives, or commonly known as VFD’s, use pulse width modulation (PWD) techniques to control AC drives.  If improper cabling is used in these drives, the high frequency pulses found in VFD’s can cause destructive motor bearing currents.
The answer to these frequency pulses is many times the uses of variable frequency drive cables between […]

There are two different types of fire alarm system circuits, NPLFA and PLFA. NPLFA can operate at up to 600V with unlimited power output. A PLFA has limited voltage and power which is dictated by the listed power source.  Basically this means that there are easier installation requirements for the PLFA circuit, however listed below […]
