It sounds obvious, I know. The cost of good VFD cable for many motors over a modest distance is quite pricey.
The manuals say to always use a type of shielded cable rated for VFD applications.
In your experience, what requirements would an application have that require VFD type cable when using an induction motor and a VFD?
Always?
When motor HP is greater than X?
Cable length greater than X?
I ask because it seems to be excessively expensive and labor intensive to run VFD rated cable for many motors under 1HP, no more than 70’ from the cabinet.
