"6/4 Shielded VFD Cable W/ 4 #12 Drain Wires is a heavy-duty, 600V TC-ER / 1000V Flexible Motor Supply rated cable engineered for high-amperage Variable Frequency Drives. Built with XLPE insulation, dual-layer EMI/RFI shielding (aluminum tape and tinned copper braid), and four #12 AWG drain wires, it suppresses noise and controls high-voltage spikes. Its rugged, oil-resistant PVC jacket is approved for direct burial, UV exposure, and wet or dry environments."
Standard power wire degrades quickly under high-frequency voltage spikes and radiates severe electrical noise into nearby control lines. This specialized VFD cable eliminates system failures:
Dual-Layer EMI/RFI Shielding: Combines an aluminum polyester tape shield with an overall 85% tinned copper braid to trap and ground high-frequency noise before it disrupts sensors or PLCs.
4 Symmetrical Drain Wires (4x #12 AWG): Features four stranded tinned copper grounds, providing significantly better EMI suppression and lower ground impedance than standard 3-conductor variants in the event of component failure.
Exposed Run (TC-ER) Rated: Complies with UL 1277 for direct-run installation out of the cable tray to the motor without requiring rigid metal conduit, saving substantial material and labor costs.
Heavy-Duty Industrial Jacket: The PVC outer jacket is sunlight, moisture, oil, and abrasion resistant, and approved for direct burial in wet or dry locations (-40°C to 90°C).
ENGINEERING OVERVIEW: 6 AWG 4C VFD CableÂ
Application: Primarily used with Variable Frequency Drives, industrial automation, heavy machinery, processing equipment, conveyors, and pumps.
Voltage Rating: 600 Volts (UL Type TC-ER) / 1000 Volts (UL Approved Flexible Motor Supply Cable).
UL Listings: UL 1277 (Type TC-ER), Type XHHW-2, UL Type Motor Supply Cable.
Conductor Material: Stranded soft drawn tinned copper (6 AWG, 133 stranding).
Drain Wire(s): Four stranded tinned copper grounds (4#12 AWG).
Insulation: Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) (0.045" / 1.14 mm thickness).
Shielding: Aluminum polyester tape & 85% tinned copper braid.
Jacket Material: Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) (0.080" / 2.03 mm thickness).
Temperature Rating: -40°C to 90°C.
Cable Outer Diameter: 0.92 inches (23.4 mm).
Compliance Standards: CSA FT-4 vertical tray flame test; CSA AWM I/II A/B singles; C(UL) CIC-TC per CSA C22.2 No. 239 & 230; Meets IEEE 1202/UL 1685 (70,000 BTU) & ICEA T-29-520 (210,000 BTU) flame tests; Class I Division II Hazardous Location suitable; RoHS II & REACH compliant.
Heavy Industrial Conveyors & Pumps: Delivering clean power to 6 AWG motor loads while blocking EMI from reaching nearby control panels and sensors.
Automation & Robotics: Ideal for heavy multi-axis machinery and factory interconnects requiring flexible, noise-free VFD power cabling.
Process Machinery Interconnects: Interconnecting heavy processing equipment, station trays, and control panels in harsh industrial environments.
Outdoor & Wash-Down Drives: Powering variable-speed drives in wet, direct burial, or outdoor locations where oil and UV resistance are critical.

Heavy-Duty Industrial Conveyors & Processing Equipment
Delivers high-amperage, noise-free power to 6 AWG motor loads across mining, packaging, and material handling facilities. The dual-layer shielding (aluminum tape + 85% tinned copper braid) prevents high-frequency VFD noise from bleeding into nearby PLC control lines, photoelectric sensors, and instrumentation.
Commercial & Industrial HVAC Systems
Powers high-horsepower variable frequency drive fan motors, chillers, and large cooling towers. Designed to withstand constant electrical stress, voltage spikes, and reflected wave phenomena, this cable protects motor windings from breakdown and ensures continuous, high-efficiency building climate control.
Municipal Water Treatment & Pumping Stations
Ideal for variable-speed booster pumps, aeration blowers, and sludge processing machinery. Its heavy-duty PVC outer jacket is oil, moisture, and chemical resistant, making it suitable for damp pump houses, outdoor installations, and direct-burial runs between control buildings and drive motors.
Automotive Manufacturing & Robotic Assemblies
Built to handle the demanding high-frequency switching environment of automated multi-axis machinery, robotic arms, and CNC machine tools. The 133-strand tinned copper conductors provide superior flexibility for installation through tight pathways, stationary trays, and machine raceways.
Harsh Wash-Down & Outdoor Environments
Engineered for food and beverage plants, chemical processing, and exposed industrial sites. Rated for wet/dry operation from -40°C to 90°C with full UV and sunlight resistance, ensuring reliable performance where equipment requires frequent high-pressure wash-downs or direct exposure to weather.

This 6/4 Cable is a heavy-duty 600V/1000V industrial VFD cable engineered specifically to connect Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) to high-horsepower AC induction motors. Constructed with four 6 AWG tinned copper circuit conductors, an overall dual-layer shield (foil + tinned copper braid), and four 12 AWG symmetrical ground/drain wires, it is specified for industrial motor drives, processing plants, automated machinery, and commercial HVAC systems.
The 4-drain ground architecture provides critical system-level protection for motor circuits:
Yes! Wire America custom-cuts and distributes VFD cable by the foot and supplies master reels, allowing you to order the exact footage your project requires—eliminating jobsite scrap and extra costs. Place your order online or contact our technical sales desk directly at (833) 268-8644 for custom cut lengths, engineering submittal sheets, or bulk project pricing.
UL 1277 is the official Safety Standard for Electrical Power and Control Tray Cables. For VFD installations, a UL 1277 listing certifies that the cable meets strict flame-retardant, crush, and impact-resistance standards required for placement in cable trays. When combined with an Exposed Run (TC-ER) rating, it permits contractors to run the cable continuously out of the cable tray directly to the motor without installing rigid conduit, significantly reducing jobsite material and labor costs.
