GAALFLEX® VFD FG7(O)CR: 600V/1000V European Standard Industrial Halogen-Free Variable Frequency Drive Cable with HEPR Rubber Insulation, Red Copper Braid-Only Shielding, PVC R2 Inner Sheath, Gray Special PVC Jacket, Exceptional +250°C Short-Circuit Tolerance, 3-Phase Industrial Motor, 2.5–300 mm² Flexible Class 5, 8×D Bending Radius, Enhanced EN 50266-2-4/IEC 60332-3-24 Flame Testing | European Halogen-Free Industrial VFD Cable
European standard 600V/1000V halogen-free VFD cable combining HEPR (halogen-free ethylene propylene rubber) insulation with simplified red copper braid-only shielding, PVC R2 inner sheath, gray special PVC outer jacket, flexible Class 5 red copper, and professional industrial motor integration—addressing halogen-free industrial frequency converter specification (non-building-code), standard temperature industrial environments (−15/0 to +90°C), exceptional short-circuit fault tolerance (+250°C), simplified copper braid shielding topography, flexible motor routing (8×D bend radius), enhanced flame testing capability, and comprehensive European standard industrial automation infrastructure simultaneously.
1. HEPR Rubber Insulation: Halogen-Free Industrial Safety (Non-Building-Code)
GAALFLEX® VFD FG7(O)CR utilizes proprietary HEPR (halogen-free ethylene propylene rubber) insulation providing industrial halogen-free safety characteristics without CPR building-code requirements, enabling halogen-free performance in standard industrial frequency converter applications.
Specification strategy: FG7(O)CR uses HEPR insulation (halogen-free, no corrosive HCl gas) for industrial halogen-free applications without CPR building-code testing/rating. FG16OHH2R uses identical HEPR but carries full CPR EU 305/2011 Cca-s3,d0,a3 building certification. Result: FG7(O)CR provides halogen-free safety at industrial cost; FG16OHH2R provides building compliance premium.
2. PVC R2 Inner Sheath: Electrical Isolation & Mechanical Protection
GAALFLEX® VFD FG7(O)CR includes PVC R2 inner sheath providing additional electrical isolation between insulation and copper braid shield, improving mechanical durability and preventing conductor-to-shield contact.
3. Red Copper Braid-Only Shielding: Simplified EMI Suppression Architecture
GAALFLEX® VFD FG7(O)CR features red copper braid shielding (equal section ≤16 mm² or ≥50% phase ≥16 mm² for >25 mm²) without aluminum tape, providing simplified shield architecture, complete conductor coverage, and cost-optimized EMI suppression.
4. Extended Conductor Range: 2.5–300 mm² Maximum Industrial Spectrum
GAALFLEX® VFD FG7(O)CR extends to 300 mm² maximum conductor size—the largest single VFD product in the industrial series—enabling complete motor spectrum from small control (2.5 mm²) through megawatt-class industrial motors (300 mm²).
5. Enhanced Flame Testing: EN 50265/50266 & IEC 60332-3-24 Compliance
GAALFLEX® VFD FG7(O)CR meets comprehensive flame testing per DIN VDE 0482-265-2-1, EN 50265-2-1, IEC 60332-1-2 (vertical), plus additional EN 50266-2-4 / IEC 60332-3-24 (tray) testing ensuring industrial fire safety.
6. Gray Special PVC Jacket: Industrial Standard Protection & Thermal Management
GAALFLEX® VFD FG7(O)CR features gray RAL 7035 special PVC compound outer sheath providing industrial standard protection and thermal dissipation characteristics matching VFD 1100 gray jacket specification.
7. Comparative Analysis: FG7(O)CR (Industrial Halogen-Free) vs. FG16OHH2R (Building) & FE4OHH2R (XLPE)
| Metric | FG7(O)CR Industrial HF | FG16OHH2R Building Code | FE4OHH2R XLPE Standard | Winner |

| Regulatory rating | Industrial only | CPR Cca-s3,d0,a3 | Industrial only | FG16OHH2R |
| Halogen-free cost | Industrial tier | Building premium | Not applicable | FG7(O)CR |
| SHIELDING & ARCHITECTURE | ||||
| Shield type | Cu braid only | Al tape + Cu braid | Al tape + Cu braid | FG7(O)CR |
| Inner sheath | PVC R2 (yes) | No inner sheath | No inner sheath | FG7(O)CR |
| CONDUCTOR & PERFORMANCE | ||||
| Max conductor | 300 mm² (largest) | 240 mm² | 240 mm² | FG7(O)CR |
| Temperature range | −15/0 to +90°C | −15 to +90°C | −20 to +90°C | FE4OHH2R |
| Short-circuit | +250°C | +250°C | +250°C | All equal |
Choice strategy: FG7(O)CR (HEPR, Cu braid, PVC R2 inner, 2.5–300 mm²) = halogen-free industrial cable with largest conductor spectrum and simplified braid-only shielding. FG16OHH2R (HEPR, building code) = CPR mandatory building installations. FE4OHH2R (XLPE, 2/3/4-core) = cost-optimized. Choose FG7(O)CR for halogen-free industrial with extended motor spectrum; choose FG16OHH2R for building compliance.
