Technical Specifications

Property Specification Significance
Conductor Material Annealed Bare / Tinned Copper (Solid or Stranded) Ensures high conductivity. Tinned copper provides crucial corrosion resistance for damp or chemically active industrial settings.
Insulation PVC / PE / XLPE / FRLS / HR PVC Offers flexibility to meet thermal and chemical demands. XLPE (Cross-linked) and HR PVC provide higher temperature tolerance; FRLS (Flame Retardant Low Smoke) enhances fire safety.
Core Identification Number Coded or Colour Coded as per Standards Essential for installation and maintenance to correctly trace and connect circuits (e.g., pairs, triads).
Shielding Aluminium Mylar Tape / Copper Braid / Foil Shield Critical for protecting sensitive, low-level signals from Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Radio Frequency Interference (RFI), ensuring measurement accuracy.
Armouring GI Wire / Steel Tape Armoured (optional) Provides mechanical protection against crushing, impact, and rodent damage, often required for direct burial or exposed plant routing.
Sheath PVC / FRLS / LSZH (UV & Oil Resistant) Protects the core bundle from environmental factors. LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) is key for indoor safety; UV & Oil Resistance is mandatory for chemical and outdoor installations.
Voltage Grade Up to 1100 V Rated for power-level voltages, allowing safe routing in common trays or conduits with medium-voltage power cables, though the signals transmitted are low voltage.
Operating Temperature -15°C to +85°C Defines the thermal stability range, indicating suitability for various demanding process environments.
Standards IS 1554 / BS 5308 / IEC 189 / EN 50288 Compliance ensures the cable meets international requirements for construction, performance, and testing of industrial control and instrumentation cables.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Instrumentation cables are used to transmit low-level electrical signals for monitoring and controlling electrical systems in industries such as oil, gas, chemical, and power plants.

Instrumentation cables are designed to minimize signal interference and crosstalk using shielding and twisted pairs, while control cables are mainly used for transmitting control signals.

These cables are widely used in refineries, process plants, power stations, and automation systems for accurate signal transmission between instruments and control rooms.

Instrumentation cables can have individual and overall shielding using materials like aluminum mylar tape or braided tinned copper to protect against electromagnetic interference (EMI).

Instrumentation cables comply with standards such as BS 5308, IEC 60502, and IS 1554 to ensure reliable performance, insulation quality, and electrical safety.

Common insulation materials include PVC, XLPE, and PE, offering excellent electrical properties, flexibility, and resistance to heat and moisture.

Yes, with proper sheathing such as FRLS, LSZH, or UV-resistant jackets, instrumentation cables can be safely used in outdoor or industrial environments.

Armoured cables include a protective layer (usually galvanized steel wire or tape) for mechanical strength, while unarmoured cables are used where mechanical protection isn’t required.

Shielding prevents external electromagnetic interference, ensuring that low-voltage signals are transmitted accurately without distortion or noise.
