FAQs about High Voltage Wire and Cable
What is a KVDC rating?
KVDC stands for kilovolt direct current. Often high voltage wire or cables are described in terms of KVDC which indicates how much voltage the product is rated for.
What is the main contributing factor when designating a wire or cable high voltage?
There can be a number of factors, but the main contributing factor is the insulation material used and its thickness. The types of insulation are important, but the thickness of this insulation ensures that the cable won’t break down due to high voltage.
Terminology Notes
There are various terms used in the wire and cable industry related to this type of cable. They include:
- KVDC
- Dielectric Strength
