CORONA RESISTANT PTFE(Teflon ®) INSULATED MINIATURE HIGH VOLTAGE WIRES & CABLES
 

The size and weight  of electronic and electrical equipment has drastically reduced overs years, requiring smaller and smaller high voltage interconnections in such professional equipment and devices. The reduced life of insulating materials under corona imposes limitations on miniaturisation and choice of materials. Conventional HV cables of large sizes, when bent sharply, are even more prone to corona stress(at bend points) and early failure. GARG'S CR PTFE provides the answer for such applications. 

Standard HVCR Cables

How to Select

 
 

GARG Advantages:

  • Long life at high temperatures and voltages with significantly smaller diameters and weights
  • HVCR cables are free from ageing, tracking and mechanical stress-cracking failures. 
  • GARG designs permit much higher CW and even higher Peak/Impulse power rating.
  • In some recent tests on long samples of AWG 18/19/30 X 10 CR, rated at 16 KV AC/36 KV DC, repeated application of HV DC of 140 KV did not cause any breakdown
  • SELECT GRADED (SG) HVCR cables for up to 30% higher ratings or longer life (than our normal cables of the same size), for critical applications, are available on demand
  • Custom design solutions available
Performance and Quality Assurance 

We have been manufacturing HVCR cables for more than 35 years. There are no generally accepted specifications for HVCR wires & cables. We have developed various performance and testing methods. To read more about our performance and testing  click here
