Taking advantage of TRI's six decades of experience working in areas such as high voltage induced electric fields, high dielectric strength materials and low partial discharge interconnect design to create wire products rated to up to 60 kVDC that are far superior in performance, size, mass and flexibility to what is available from the traditional wire market. Designs and features include:
Single and multi-conductor designs with or without shielding and jacketing
High flexibility designs starting at ratings of 3kVDC with an overall diameter as small as .019" (.48mm)
Proprietary Ready-to-BondTM etched or silicone coated FEP and PFA to enable cohesive bonds to encapsulants without any further surface preparation of the wire by the customer
Distributed loss, low pass filter, RF attenuation design
Low partial discharge, semi-conductive layer designs
FEP High Voltage Wire
Benefits of extruded fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) insulated high voltage wire and cable:
Exceptional dielectric strength without the disadvantages common to equally rated silicone rubber insulated wire
Wire, cable assemblies and cable bundles have much smaller diameter than silicone wire and, therefore, take up substantially less volume while also having a smaller bend radius allowing the designer to better utilize the space within the system
Good corona inception qualities
Excellent durability and resistance to dielectriccooling fluid degradation
Inert when exposed to most industrial solvents and chemicals
Meet NASA low outgassing TML and CVCM levels
Not prone to "pin-holing" and high voltage punch-through when the cable surface is abraded or when strands break during in-field use
More resistant to damage when making contact with sharp edges, although this should be avoided when designing high voltage systems
