The generation, transmission, and distribution of power involves electrical facilities, apparatus, and components, to carry the electrical energy from its generating site to where it is utilized. An important part of this power system is the cable system that is used exclusively to carry power from the main substations to secondary substations at load centers. Low voltage cable is used to distribute power from the load centers to utilization equipment in conduits and ducts, even though other methods such as cable trays, direct burial for outdoor applications, and aerial cable are used. Electrical, mechanical, and environmental considerations are the main factors in selecting and applying cable systems for distribution and utilization of electrical power. Previously rubber insulated cables were in vogue but their life used to be short. Now days in the field of insulated cables PVC cables have occupied an important place and in fact these are most popular. PVC Cables are usually of two grades viz. 250/440 volts grade cable and 640/1100 volts grade cable. Some of the types of PVC cables are: PVC insulated entwined wires used for service connections, Twin twisted PVC insulated wire for appliances, Flat type PVC cord having two parallel PVC insulated wires for appliances, Round type PVC cord having twin twisted PVC coated wire sheathed with round PVC sheathing, PVC insulated over head wire consisting of 20 to 30 core wires about 0.5 mm. dia., twisted together and covered with PVC.PVC insulated control cable for appliances, low voltage distribution, telephone wire, switch board wiring, and cables for automobiles. Cables are manufactured from Electrolytic grade bright annealed copper, thus helping save energy. These are insulated with special grade Pre Compound offering high insulation resistance & dielectric strength & are ideal for conduit wiring. Each meter of wire goes through high voltage testing machines to make certain that there are no weakness spots in the insulation. PVC insulated flexible single core and multi core cables are manufactured as per the most stringent quality specification to meet international standards. Electrolytic grade copper conductors and dielectric grade. PVC insulation makes these cables suitable for transmitting voltage up to 1100 volts. The 250/440 volt grade cable are suitable for use on single phase or 3 phase systems where the voltage between each conductor and earth does not exceed 250 V. (That is solidly earthed 440 V). The 650/1100 volts grade cable are suitable for use on medium voltage 3 phase system where the voltage between the conductor and the earth does not exceed 650 V. (That is solidly earthed 1100 V. System). These can also be used on single phase system in special conditions where greater degree of safety is required. Uses and Application PVC wires & cables are used in home appliance, house wiring, TV, VCR control panel, power distribution & secondary transmissions etc. The main use of PVC wires & cables are in house wiring. Since as the name suggests its used everywhere, where electricity is to be carried from one point to another with safety. Domestic cables & wires used extensively. These types of cables are used in house wiring, wiring of T.V, Video & Control panel circuits. These types of wires are used where temporary wiring for domestic use is necessary. Power cables are used mostly by electricity boards & big industries where consumption of electricity is large. These cables are used for domestic supply of electricity in big towns of cities or in workshops where open wiring is not suitable due to moisture & hazardous gases. In Market segments, PVC Wires & Cables are used in Airports, Automobile, Building & Construction Industries, Cement Industries, Chemical & Process Industries, Fertilizer Industries, Hydro Power Generation, Information Technology Industries, Nuclear Power Generation, Ordinance Factories & Defence Installations, Petrochemical Industries / LPG Plants, Petroleum Refineries & Port Terminals, Power Electricity Distribution Industries, Railways, Steel Plants, Thermal Power Generation. Market Survey The demand for the incremental cables supply which is now prevalent in the industry (in form of large, ongoing infrastructure, power and industrial projects) is expected to flow from the following quarter in this fiscal. Cables demand forms a major part of every industrial project. It is estimated that there are around 1,000 cable making companies across the world, of which around 18% are located in North America, 26% in Europe, 13% in Asia and 43% in rest of the world. China alone accounts for two thirds of consumption of cables in the Asia region and 21% of total world consumption. Demand is stimulated by major electrification programs to extend energy networks. The high consumption in Western Europe and North America stems from the need to replace aging lines and to inter connect the electricity networks in those regions. Since India is expected as one of the worlds fastest growing markets for high voltage power cables, to cope with increasing power demand, J Power Systems decided to expand its production capacity by establishing a new plant in partnership with Finolex. Universal Cables Ltd (UCL) has started work on its Rs 610 mn cross linked polyethylene cables project. It is the first project of its kind in the country. There is a very good scope for this product and every industry is incomplete without this, so by establishing this business, one can be a major support to other industries.
