Wires and Cables specifications define their electrical, mechanical, fire safety and environmental performance and are critical for correct and safe selection in any application, from residential lighting to industrial power distribution.

Types Of Cables

§  L.V. PVC Power Cables Copper & Aluminium Conductor.

§  L.V. XLPE Power Copper And Aluminium Conductor M.V.

§  Power Cables Upto 33 Kv.

§  EHV Cables From 66kv To 220kv I L.V. Aerial Bunched Cables (ABC).

§  Zero Halogen Cables.

§  Fire Survival Cables (FS).

Core Components

§  Conductor: 
The inner core (solid or stranded) that carries the electric current. Copper is the 2026 standard for high conductivity, while aluminum is used for weight-sensitive or cost-effective large-scale distribution.

§  Insulation: 
The non-conductive material (such as PVC, XLPE, or LSZH) surrounding the conductor to prevent leakage and short circuits.

§  Sheath/Jacket: 
The outermost protective layer that guards the internal components against moisture, chemicals, and mechanical damage.

§  Armouring (Optional): 
A layer of steel wire or tape used in industrial cables to provide enhanced mechanical protection for underground or exposed installations.

Standard Tests
