Power Cables Armoured & Unarmoured Manufacturer in India - Yeshwant Wires

Description

Power Cables (Armoured & Unarmoured) are specialized electrical cables designed for low-tension power transmission and distribution systems. These cables feature high-purity copper conductors with XLPE or PVC insulation, providing excellent thermal performance, chemical resistance, and fire safety.

These cables are extensively used in industrial plants, commercial buildings, residential complexes, infrastructure projects, and utilities where reliable power distribution with mechanical protection or flexible installation is essential for operational safety and performance.

Key Features & Advantages

  • High Electrical Conductivity: Pure copper conductors minimize energy loss and voltage drop.
  • Armoured & Unarmoured Options: Provides mechanical protection or flexible installation as required.
  • Fire & Heat Resistant: XLPE and PVC insulation ensures safe operation under high temperatures.
  • Durable & Reliable: Resistant to abrasion, chemicals, moisture, and mechanical stress.
  • Wide Range: Available in single-core and multi-core configurations, various voltage ratings.
  • Complies with Global Standards: IS 1554, IEC 60502, and BS EN 50525.

Technical Specifications

Property Specification Significance
Conductor Material Annealed Copper or Aluminium (Usually stranded, Class 2) ISO/IEC international Copper has high conductivity; Aluminium is lighter and cheaper for large sizes. Stranding provides essential flexibility for installation.
Voltage Grade Up to 1.1 kV (Low Voltage) / 3.3 kV to 33 kV (Medium Voltage) ISO/IEC international Defines the maximum continuous operating voltage the insulation system is rated for, ensuring safety and preventing insulation breakdown.
Operating Temperature 70°C (for PVC) / 90°C (for XLPE) / -15°C to +90°C (Range) ISO/IEC international Determines the maximum current the cable can safely carry (ampacity) without damaging the insulation, crucial for system design and safety.
Insulation PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) / XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene) / EPR (Ethylene Propylene Rubber) XLPE is preferred for power cables due to its superior thermal stability and higher dielectric strength, allowing the cable to handle higher current loads.
Armouring Type Armoured (GSW/Steel Strip) / Unarmoured Armouring provides vital mechanical protection against crushing and impact (e.g., in direct burial) and often serves as a protective earth/grounding conductor.
Sheath PVC / FRLS / LSZH (Often UV, Water & Abrasion Resistant) The outer layer protects the core from environmental damage. LSZH is key for indoor installations to prevent toxic smoke release during a fire.
Core Type Single Core (High Current AC/DC) / Multi-Core (2, 3, 3.5, 4 Cores) Configuration depends on the electrical system (e.g., three-phase power uses 3 or 4 core cables; high-power applications often use single core for better thermal management).
Standards IS 7098 / IEC 60502 / BS 5467 Compliance ensures the cable meets international requirements for construction, testing, insulation thickness, and short-circuit performance for electrical power distribution.

Applications

Power Cables are widely used in industrial plants, commercial buildings, residential complexes, infrastructure projects, and utilities for power transmission and distribution. Armoured cables are ideal for underground installations, heavy machinery, and areas requiring mechanical protection, while unarmoured cables are preferred for lightweight wiring and flexible installations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Power cables are used to transmit and distribute electrical energy in residential, commercial, and industrial applications, connecting electrical equipment and power supply systems.

Power cables are mainly categorized as Low Voltage (LV), Medium Voltage (MV), and High Voltage (HV) cables, depending on their voltage rating and application area.

A typical power cable consists of a conductor, insulation, bedding, armor (optional), and outer sheath—each layer providing electrical, thermal, and mechanical protection.

Power cables use copper or aluminum conductors, with insulation made from PVC, XLPE, or EPR, and protective sheathing materials like FRLS or LSZH for enhanced safety.

Armoured power cables include a steel or aluminum layer for mechanical protection, making them suitable for underground or harsh environments. Unarmoured cables are used for indoor or protected installations.

Power cables are used in power distribution networks, buildings, substations, industrial machinery, renewable energy systems, and underground or overhead electrical installations.

Power cables are manufactured according to IS 7098, IEC 60502, BS 5467, and other international standards to ensure quality, safety, and reliability in electrical systems.

The operating temperature of power cables varies by insulation: PVC cables typically withstand up to 70°C, while XLPE cables can operate safely up to 90°C or more.

The right power cable is selected based on voltage rating, current carrying capacity, installation environment, insulation type, and compliance with relevant standards.
