Technical Advantages

Type O Power Cords incorporate a multi-layer insulation system with enhanced thermal conductivity properties, allowing efficient heat dissipation even under elevated ampacity loads. The insulation maintains dimensional stability and dielectric strength at operating temperatures exceeding 90°C, reducing risk of thermal degradation and ensuring consistent cable performance. 

The connectors used with Type O Power Cords are manufactured to stringent ISO 9001 quality standards, featuring gold or nickel plating for corrosion resistance and optimal electrical contact. Precision-machined connector pins maintain low contact resistance and prevent micro-arcing, ensuring secure and stable electrical connections during high-cycle mating operations.

Having Doubts? Our FAQ

Check all our Frequently Asked Question

How does Frigate ensure the conductor quality in Type O Power Cords meets industrial standards?

Frigate sources oxygen-free high conductivity (OFHC) copper for all Type O Power Cords, ensuring minimal resistive losses. The conductors undergo strict dimensional and conductivity testing per IEC 60228 Class 2 standards. This process guarantees consistent electrical performance and reduces heat generation during heavy current loads. Frigate’s quality control ensures every batch meets these technical benchmarks. 

What insulation technology does Frigate use in Type O Power Cords for high thermal endurance?

Frigate utilizes cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation for Type O Power Cords to maintain dielectric strength at temperatures above 90°C. XLPE offers superior thermal resistance and mechanical toughness compared to conventional materials. This insulation prevents premature breakdown even under prolonged thermal stress. It is tested rigorously to meet UL 758 and IEC 60502 standards. 

How does Frigate address electromagnetic interference (EMI) mitigation in Type O Power Cords?

Frigate designs Type O Power Cords with a multi-layer shielding system combining aluminum foil and copper braiding. This shielding achieves high coverage, significantly reducing EMI and radio frequency interference (RFI). The result is improved signal integrity and reduced noise in sensitive applications. Shielding performance is verified through standardized EMI testing protocols. 

What connector manufacturing standards does Frigate follow for Type O Power Cords to ensure long-term reliability?

Frigate uses connectors produced under ISO 9001-certified processes, focusing on precision machining and plating quality. Connectors feature gold or nickel plating to prevent oxidation and maintain low contact resistance. This ensures stable, high-quality electrical connections over repeated mating cycles. Frigate conducts periodic inspections to uphold these durability standards. 

How does Frigate validate the mechanical durability of Type O Power Cords in dynamic environments?

Frigate subjects Type O Power Cords to flexural endurance and abrasion resistance tests per IEC 60811 series standards. The cables use thermoplastic elastomer jackets engineered for repeated bending and harsh mechanical conditions. These tests confirm the cables can withstand prolonged flex without conductor fatigue or jacket degradation. This ensures reliability in industrial and mobile applications.
