110Vac instrumentation cable

Hi everyone and happy new year y’all.

Have anyone use a 110 Vac instrumentation cable for a 220 Vac device?

The exact cable in question must have a voltage rating. If the cable is rated for 220V or more, then you are good to go.

Never run 110Vac rated cable on 220Vac!


One of three things will happen:
1. It will catch fire when you commission the device.
2. The insulation will degrade much faster than normal, and in maybe 1 year from now, it will catch fire.
3. The insulation will degrade much faster than normal, and in maybe 1 year from now,you will start to see sporadic false readings from your device. Later it will catch fire.



As this cable is sometimes a twisted pair, I refer to such cable as the twisted firestrter.

I've never encountered wire with an insulation rating below 300 volts. This is news to me.

Just plowed through Helukabel's catalog. The lowest rated cable I could find was 225V.
Exception were LAN cables, for which there is no insulation rating.

things you must take into consideration.

1. the insulation rating of the wire.
2. the current rating of the wire.
3. the length of the wire (voltage drop).

I have never seen any 110 volt cable with less than 300 volts ac, but then again, there may be some out there.

Man, forgot all about that album... good times. No one could rock a reverse mohawk like that one guy.
