Please can someone recommend a good place to order 10 gauge shielded cable (by the ft) in America?
According to the charts I looked at, I need 10 gauge cable for a 5.6kw spindle and according to people here, it needs to be shielded. I managed to find a single length of 4 conductor shielded cable on eBay for VFD to spindle but I need to find a second length of 2 conductor shielded cable for VFD to wall outlet. I am stuck with a regular non-shielded cable until I find some.
One of the problems is that nobody seems to sell it by the ft and I don't want to spend $1000 on a roll. Where do you guys buy this mythical unicorn cable?
What happens if you don't use shielded cable for the VFD to outlet wire? Other electronics (including stuff with motors) seems to work fine without shielding. Is shielding just a nice to have or is it absolutely necessary?
It should go without saying but..... yes, I have tried google and eBay and Home Depot already.....
