Industrial Power Cables

Industrial power cables are heavy-duty cables designed to deliver power in harsh industrial environments where standard household cables cannot operate. These cables feature reinforced conductors, special insulation, and a robust outer sheath, resisting high temperatures, oil, chemicals, abrasion, UV radiation, and mechanical stress.

Industrial power cables include:

• Standard power cords
• High-flexibility cables and drag chain cables
• Shielded power cords for electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection
• High-temperature cables
• Oil and chemical corrosion resistant cables
• Halogen-free (LSZH) cables for safety-critical applications

Industrial power cables are specially designed to withstand extreme environmental conditions such as vibration, repeated bending, oil/chemical corrosion, and extreme temperatures, while ordinary power cords are primarily used in light and controlled environments.

Key factors include rated voltage and current, insulation material, sheath durability (e.g., oil or chemical resistance), required flexibility, temperature range, electromagnetic interference shielding, and compliance with safety standards.

Industrial power cables are used to power industrial automation systems, CNC machine tools, robots, conveyors, pumps, motors, welding equipment, packaging machinery, and outdoor power distribution systems in factories.

Conductors are typically copper or aluminum. Insulation materials include cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), or heat-resistant silicone. Sheaths may be made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyurethane (PUR), or low-smoke halogen-free (LSZH) compounds to meet specific environmental protection requirements.

Rated voltage defines the highest voltage a cable can safely carry. In industrial environments, cables with a rated voltage higher than the maximum operating voltage must be selected to avoid overheating and failure.

Yes, outdoor industrial power cables feature weather-resistant sheaths and UV-resistant insulation, enabling them to withstand various environmental corrosions. However, you must select the appropriate cable based on the installation conditions.

High-flexibility power cables use finely stranded conductors and flexible sheaths, capable of withstanding continuous movement and millions of bending cycles, making them suitable for applications such as robotic arms and automated machinery.

Yes. Industrial power cables typically need to comply with UL, CSA, ISO, REACH, RoHS, and other regional safety and environmental standards to ensure their performance, reliability, and compliance.
