Technical Data of PTFE (Teflon) cable
PTFE cables have outstanding Mechanical & electrical
properties. These are heat resistant. Its properties qualify
them for an ever-widening range of wiring a applications,
they are used in many situations, where temperature is between -65°C and
+250°C.
In most adverse uses, where chemical fumes and liquids would
render all other cables cables useless, PTFE is the most
well-known and durable polymer and has been used in the
cable industry for many years, It’s outstanding dielectric
properties, even at elevated temperatures, make it most
suitable for insulation of cables.
Construction:-
These cables consist of :-
- A solid or stranded conductor of
either
- Silver plated copper (SPC) or
- Silver plated copper clad steel (SCCS) or
- Anealed bare Copper.
- A dielectric
layer or wrapped and sintered PTFE tape.
- one or two
braids of silver plated copper wire [In case of Shielded cables]
- An overaii jacket
of:
- Wrapped and sintered PTFE tape.
- One or two wraps of PTFE tape, one or more glass fiber braids and coated
with a special high temperature varnish.
Performance Characteristics:
- High dielectric values of any
known flexible insulator resulting in excellent space
and weight saving.
- Wide operating temperature range-65°C to + 250°C.
- Inert to most chemicals and fluids even at
elevated temperature and pressure.
- Unaffected by oils, lubricants,
hydraulic fluids and aircraft / rocket fuel.
- Insulation
by tape wrapping and sintering process-ensures uniform
insulation thickness eith near extruded finish.
- Non –flammable, non – toxic, resistant to
solder iron damage.
- Suitable for high frequency operation.
- Immune to agene,
fungus and water absorption.
- Resistance to UV radiation
and stress creaking.
- High strain and abrasion resistance.
Technical Specification:
The PTFE equipment wires are as per US military
MIL- W – 16878D and Indian defence specifications JSS
51034.92. As per these standards, equipments wires are classified
in three main working voltage grades. i.e.
250 v ac rms (ET) grade
600
V acrms (E) grade
1000 V acrms (EE) grade
The Main Technical Features are as follows:
Fine wire strands. Made from silver plated electrolytic grade
copper wire, stranded to from perfectly round conductor.
Teflon (PTFE) concentricity of inner conductor, available
in bright eleven solid colors & combination of colors
as bi colors.
Insulation radial thickness.
ET- 250 V ACrms Grade 0.15 mm Nominal
E - 600 V ACrms Grade 0.25 mm Nominal
EE - 1000V ACrms Grade 0.40 mm Nominal.
