LV Cables 60V – 1kV

Introduction

Low Voltage Cables come in a variety of sizes, materials, and types, each particularly adapted to its uses. Cables consist of five major components: conductors, insulation, armour, termite protection and protective outer sheath. The makeup of individual cables varies according to application.

The construction and material are determined by three main factors

Working voltage, determining the thickness of the insulation
Current-carrying capacity, determining the cross-sectional size of the conductor(s)
Environmental conditions such as temperature, water, chemical or sunlight exposure, presence of rodents and termites and mechanical impact determining the type of armour and termite protection, composition of cable outer sheath.

LV cables use stranded copper or aluminium conductors. although small conductor of cables may use solid conductors. The overall assembly may be round or flat. Non-conducting filler strands may be added to the assembly to maintain its round shape. Special purpose LV cables for overhead or vertical use may have additional elements such as steel structural supports. Some LV cables for outdoor overhead use may have no outer sheath.

Application

LV cable is used widely in many industries ranging from industries involved in water, renewable energy, distribution and power networks, nuclear and thermal power stations, airports, marine, defence, telecommunications, windmills, building, mining, offshore applications, ship wiring, railways, automation, audio-visual and manufacturing industries, these cables are used for wide range of applications.
