Enhanced Mechanical and Environmental ProtectionThe aluminum strip armouring provides high mechanical strength, making this cable particularly suited for environments prone to physical stress, accidental impacts, or potential damage. Its robust construction, combined with a flame-retardant PVC jacket, guarantees both safety and long-term durability in underground and exposed outdoor layouts.
Reliable Insulation and High PerformanceUsing premium PVC insulation (type A as per IS:5831), the cable offers superior dielectric strength and insulation resistance exceeding 1 G-km. This ensures efficiency and safety when handling power transmission tasks up to 1100V, delivering consistent performance in industrial and commercial settings even under challenging conditions.
Customized Solutions for Versatile ApplicationsAvailable in multi-core (2, 3, 3.5, or 4 cores), varied sizes (2.5 sqmm to 400 sqmm), and both solid or stranded aluminum conductors, this cable is highly adaptable. Standard, as well as custom lengths, coil/roll/drum packaging, and compatibility with classic clamp or gland fittings, further ensure it meets diverse installation and operational requirements.
FAQs of Al Pvc Strip Armoured P:
Q: How does the aluminum strip armouring enhance cable protection?
A: Aluminum strip armouring significantly improves the cables mechanical strength, offering high resistance to crushing, abrasion, and impacts. This makes the cable ideal for installations where extra protection is essential, such as underground or outdoor environments.
Q: What are the operating and storage temperature ranges for this cable?
A: This cable operates safely within a temperature range of -15C to 70C, and can be stored between -20C and +60C. Such ranges ensure its performance in various climatic and environmental conditions.
Q: When should I choose this armoured cable for my installation?
A: Choose this cable when you need reliable power transmission in demanding locations, such as industrial sites, outdoor, or underground installations. Its flame-retardant, UV and water-resistant properties make it suitable for scenarios requiring high safety and environmental tolerance.
Q: Where is this cable typically installed and used?
A: It is widely used in power distribution systems, industrial and commercial electricity supply networks, and for outdoor or underground cable laying, particularly where added mechanical protection is required.
Q: What is the process for installing Al PVC strip armoured cables?
A: Installation involves laying the cable in ducts, trenches, or on cable trays, ensuring a minimum bending radius of 12 times the outer diameter. Terminations are typically made using standard clamps or gland fittings to secure connections.
Q: How does the cable perform against flame, water, oil, and UV exposure?
A: The cable features a flame-retardant PVC insulation, good water resistance, moderate oil resistance, and high UV resistance, ensuring safe and prolonged operation even in harsh or exposed environments.
Q: What are the benefits of using this cable over standard non-armoured cables?
A: This armoured cable offers considerable benefits: exceptional mechanical protection, enhanced safety in case of fire, corrosion resistance, and suitability for challenging installations where standard cables may fail or require additional protection.
