LOW VOLTAGE CABLES
Low voltage cables are most widely used among all cables. Low voltage power cables are used in electric power distribution substations, industrial applications to distribution electric panels, etc. While control cables carry signals from electrical devices, switchgears, etc to control room. Voltage range includes 0.6/1.0 kV & 1.8/3.0 kV for power cables and 0.6/1.0 kV for control cables. These cables are manufactured to international standards including BS, IEC and other national & utility standards.
