Description
OverviewMahashakti Flat Multicore is the XLPO flat cable for submersible pumps. The flat three core profile runs down a borewell beside the delivery pipe without bunching, and the elastomer sheath handles the water, the grit, and the abrasion of being pulled out and put back. Cross linked polyolefin insulation takes more heat than PVC and is self extinguishing. 1.5 to 50 sq mm.
A borewell pump is the hardest duty a cable in an Indian home or on a farm has to do. The cable sits in water, carries a starting current several times the running current, and gets hauled up every time the pump is serviced. That is the argument for the XLPO grade over a plain PVC flat cable. Supplied on 500 and 1000 m drums, and also available with XLPE or rubber insulation, or an aluminium conductor.

Standards & approvals
ComplianceBuilt with cross-linked polyolefin (XLPO) insulation and a heavy-duty elastomer sheath, and supplied ISI-marked and BIS-certified.
XLPO insulation carries a higher continuous temperature rating than PVC and resists water, oil and abrasion better, which is why this range is specified for deep-set and heavy-duty submersible installations. PVC-specific standards such as IS 694:2010 do not describe this construction.
The flat profile is intended for submersible pump-set installations, where the cable sits flush against the riser pipe.
