PT100 Cable 3x0.22 with a Metal Braided Shield and PTFE Insulation is an RTD sensor connection and extension cable used in resistance-type temperature measurement circuits, particularly for 3-wire PT100 sensor connections. It transmits the measurement signal from the sensor to a temperature controller, indicator, data logger, PLC system, or control panel.
The three-core cable has a 3x0.22 mm² cross-sectional area and combines PTFE / Teflon core insulation, a metal braided shield, and a transparent PTFE outer sheath. The metal braided shield helps protect the sensor signal line in industrial environments containing sources of electrical noise.
The transparent PTFE outer sheath surrounds the metal braided shield, reducing direct contact of the braid with the external environment. This structure provides additional protection to the cable structure against friction, contamination, moisture and some chemical effects depending on the application. The product is not an energy supply cable, but a sensor cable used to carry the measurement signal of resistance-type temperature sensors.
The three conductors of the cable are individually insulated with PTFE / Teflon material. The metal braided shield around the cores creates a protective layer that helps reduce the measurement line's exposure to electrical noise sources.
The transparent PTFE outer sheath on the metal braid surrounds the mesh structure and provides additional protection against direct friction, dirt and environmental contact. Thanks to the transparent structure, the physical condition of the metal braid can be checked from the outside.
PTFE / Teflon insulation is preferred in industrial sensor cables due to its temperature resistance, resistance to chemical effects and low-friction surface properties. The exact temperature and chemical resistance limits of the cable must be evaluated according to the manufacturer's technical data sheet.
The three-core cable construction is particularly suitable for 3-wire PT100 measurement circuits. When the measuring instrument supports 3-wire RTD input and the electrical characteristics of the connecting cores are close to each other, it can help compensate for the measurement effect caused by wire resistance.
The 3x0.22 mm² structure provides a compact cable form for transporting the low-level RTD measurement signal between the sensor and the measuring instrument. When selecting the cross-section, connection distance, terminal structure, cabling route and installation area should be evaluated together.
The metal braided shield helps protect the measurement line in environments where there are electrical noise sources such as motor, contactor, inverter, resistance, power cable and control panel. In order for the shield to work effectively, the connection and grounding scheme must be made in accordance with the electrical project of the application.
The combination of PTFE core insulation and the transparent PTFE outer sheath helps separate both the conductors and the metal braided shield from environmental influences. Thus, the braid structure that provides electrical protection and the outer surface protection are combined in a single cable form.
PTFE / Teflon are preferred in industrial sensor applications that require core insulation, temperature and chemical resistance. Its low-friction surface feature can make it easier to pass the cable through appropriate channels and transition points.
The metal braided shield creates a layer of electrical and physical protection around the cable. This structure helps reduce the sensor line's exposure to electromagnetic noise and provides additional mechanical support to the cable body.
The transparent PTFE outer sheath surrounds the metal braid, reducing its exposure to direct friction, contamination and environmental contact. However, the chemical environment, contact time, temperature and mechanical conditions in which the cable will be used must be evaluated specifically for the application.
When determining the actual usage conditions of the cable, the insulation material must not be the only consideration. Ambient temperature, chemical contact, mechanical movement, tensile load, bending conditions, cabling route and connection points should be evaluated together.
This product should be considered primarily for 3-wire PT100 connections. The three terminals of the sensor must be connected to the corresponding RTD terminals of the measuring instrument according to the manufacturer's wiring diagram.
On three-wire PT100 sensors, the two terminals on the same side are usually connected to matching terminals on the measuring instrument. However, since core colors may vary depending on the manufacturer, the connection should not be made based on color alone. The sensor diagram and device terminal markings should be checked.
Incorrect core matching, broken connection or short circuit may cause the measurement value to be read incorrectly or the device to display a sensor error. After assembly, connection continuity and terminal tightness should be checked.
The grounding connection of the metal braided shield must be made according to the electrical project of the application and the device manufacturer's instructions. Inappropriate or multiple-point shield connections may create ground loop and unwanted interference problems in some systems.
The sensor cable should be carried on a route as separate as possible from motor supply lines, inverter outputs and high-current power cables. The cable must be protected from sharp edges, crush points and direct flame contact.
