High Voltage Wire and Cable for Space Applications

Gore manufactures standard and application-specific round cable, ribbon cable, hookup wire, and assemblies for high-voltage space applications. These cables are designed for voltages as high as 36,000 V DC (or 16,000 V AC) and for a minimum service life of 10,000 hours at the maximum voltage rating.

Gore high voltage wire and cable are designed for high reliability. A special insulation material is used to reduce the number of gas molecules in the insulation (which can ionize to create a corona discharge) and also resists damage caused by such discharges. This cable retain its physical properties even when exposed briefly to cryogenic temperatures or temperatures as high as 300°C.
