3.6/6kV, 6/10kV HF-CXFSA (VFD) Marine Cable

3.6/6kV, 6/10kV HF-CXFSA (VFD) Marine Cable

3.6/6kV, 6/10kV HF-CXFSA (VFD) Marine Cable is a high-performance, triple-shielded power cable designed for medium-voltage variable frequency drive systems in ships and offshore installations. Featuring cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation and a symmetrical shielding structure, its core characteristic lies in a three-layer electromagnetic shielding system (metallized insulation shield, copper/ polyester composite tape overall shield, and high-density copper braid armor).

3.6/6kV, 6/10kV HF-CXFSA (VFD) Marine Cable Application

  • 3.6/6kV, 6/10kV HF-CXFSA (VFD) Marine Cable is designed to connect variable frequency drives (VFDs) to medium-voltage AC motors. Its power supply applications include:
  • Main Propulsion Motors: Precision vessels equipped with diesel-electric or hybrid propulsion systems—including advanced cable-laying ships—rely on VFDs and their dedicated cables for precise and efficient thrust output.
  • Thrusters: In dynamic positioning (DP) systems—such as the DP3 system employed by cable-laying vessels—bow and stern thrusters require variable frequency control for precise maneuvering and positional holding, making VFD cables indispensable in this process.
  • Pumps, Fans, and Compressors: Within engine rooms and auxiliary systems, numerous large pumps, ventilators, and compressors utilize variable frequency drives to achieve energy efficiency and process control.
