High Voltage DC Silicone Rubber Cable – Shielded, Halogen-Free, Copper Conductor for EVs-Picture1

Shielded High Voltage Silicone Rubber Copper Cable (For EV & Industrial Applications)

Overview

This shielded high voltage silicone rubber insulated copper cable is engineered for demanding power transmission applications requiring exceptional electrical performance, environmental resilience, and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). Its advanced construction ensures safe and reliable operation of high-voltage systems, particularly within the rigorous environment of electric vehicles (EVs) and other critical industrial settings.

Key Features & Advantages:

  • Superior EMC Performance: Integrated aluminum foil shield effectively minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI) emission and protects internal conductors from external EMI, enabling safe parallel operation of power lines.

  • Halogen-Free & Flame Retardant: The silicone rubber insulation and sheath are inherently halogen-free, offering enhanced safety by being flame retardant and self-extinguishing (flames extinguish within 70s, unburned length ≥50mm).

  • Extreme Temperature Resilience: Outstanding performance across a wide temperature range from -40°C to +200°C.

  • High Voltage Rating: Designed for AC 1000V / DC 1500V systems.

  • High Reliability Insulation: Silicone rubber insulation provides excellent high-frequency characteristics, oxidation resistance, non-volatility, and long-term aging resistance.

  • Robust Construction: Bare copper or tinned copper conductor ensures optimal conductivity and corrosion resistance.

  • Flexibility & Durability: Maintains flexibility even at low temperatures, with a controlled minimum bending radius for ease of installation.

  • Long-Term Aging Compliance: Meets stringent long-term (3000h) and short-term (240h) aging requirements per QC/T 1037 standard.

  • Easy Installation: Compatible with molded EV connectors, eliminating the need for soldering.

Engineering Selection Notes

  • Select conductor size based on required current carrying capacity (Ampacity) and voltage drop limitations.

  • Ensure the selected voltage rating (AC 1000V / DC 1500V) meets or exceeds system requirements.

  • Adhere strictly to the Minimum Bending Radius during installation to prevent damage to the cable and shield.

  • Consider the extreme temperature range (-40°C to +200°C) suitability for the application environment.

  • The aluminum foil shield requires proper termination (e.g., 360-degree contact) for effective EMC performance.

  • Confirm fire safety performance (self-extinguishing) meets local regulations and application needs.
