Description
OverviewAPAR’s XLPE-insulated, PVC-sheathed, multi-core (with and without steel wire armour (SWA)) auxiliary fixed wiring cables are used in power networks, underground, outdoor and indoor applications. They are also used in cable ducting for residential and commercial infrastructure. They serve as the connecting medium in power and control panels, cabinets and switchgears. They are also used for stationary and static appliances, motors, and for other single phase connections. The cables provide protection against electrical interference and resistance to caustic substances and oils. Application Control cables are primarily used with control, indication and alarm equipment for switchgears and similar power apparatuses in power stations and substations. Characteristics Our multi core cables take almost 40% less space than other similar cables. The cables are resistant to oils and chemicals. The 4
