Description
OverviewShakti Flat Multicore is the PVC flat three core cable for submersible pump sets. Flame retardant insulation and sheath, a high oxygen index and low smoke, in the flat profile that runs neatly down a borewell alongside the pipe. 1.5 to 50 sq mm, on 500 and 1000 m drums.
Most borewell installations in India use a flat cable for one practical reason: a round cable of the same rating bunches against the delivery pipe and the clamps eventually chew through it. The flat profile lies against the pipe instead. If the pump runs long hours in hot water, or the cable is pulled frequently for servicing, the XLPO version, Mahashakti Flat, is worth the difference.
