Definition of nominal voltage

Electrical voltage or nominal voltage is the energy required to move a charge in an electrical field.

If you imagine a cable as a water pipe, the voltage corresponds to the pressure of the water. The higher the water pressure, the stronger the pipe must be. The lower the pressure, the lighter the pipe can be. This is similar for the chainflex® cables. If there is a high voltage on the conductor, either thicker insulation must be applied or a material that insulates better must be used.

The nominal voltage of the cable serves as a benchmark. Two values are specified here, e.g. 300V / 500V. The first value corresponds to the voltage between the conductor and the protective conductor, which carries no voltage. The second value corresponds to the voltage between two conductors.

Our aim is always to offer the customer the most favourable solution that works!

It is therefore very important to choose the right voltage class.
