Different Types of Electrical Distribution Cables

Electric cables used in sections from distribution substations to sites of demand, such as buildings and dwellings, are known as distribution cables.

Znergy makes and provides all varieties of overhead and underground distribution cables, including typhoon-resistant low wind pressure electric cables and aluminum conductor cables, among other things, so that we can respond effectively to a wide range of customer needs and installation situations.

Overhead transmission systems or underground wires can both transmit and distribute electricity. Cables are mostly created to meet a specific need. Electricity cables are primarily used for power distribution and transmission. It's a grouping of one or more separately insulated electrical conductors that's usually held together by a sheath. The assembly is utilized for electrical power transmission and distribution.

Electrical power cables can be buried in the ground, run overhead, or exposed as permanent wiring within structures. Portable electronics, mobile tools, and machines all need flexible power cords.

These are designed and manufactured to the customer's specifications for voltage, current to be carried, operating maximum temperature, and application purpose.

With double armoring, we give cable more mechanical strength for mining. Customers for wind power plants typically require flexible, UV-protected cable with a mechanically robust sheath, therefore we design to meet their needs.

Underground cables have various advantages, including being less susceptible to damage from storms and lightning, having a cheaper maintenance cost, having a lesser risk of faults, having a smaller voltage drop, and having a better overall appearance.

Mining Cable

Mine cable is a generic word for cable used to distribute power to equipment such as giant shovels and drills in mining tunnels. It's made to withstand the extreme conditions seen in coal, industrial, and precious metal mines, such as being dragged over rocks, suspended from cables, and run over by tons of equipment. The most common voltages are 2000V, 4160V, and 12,470V, with values ranging from 600V to 35KV. The ampacity ranges from under 100 amps to over 500 amps.

Our mining, drilling, and tunneling cable products are built to withstand some of the most extreme conditions on the planet. Failure of equipment and the resulting downtime can be very costly in a sector that relies on heavy-duty machinery to do this labor-intensive activity, and it can also pose a risk to operational safety in the worst-case scenario.

Cables that can be relied on to give consistent high performance are required in an industry that is becoming increasingly automated. Our cables are made to endure mechanical stress, as well as lubricants, greases, water, and even submersion. We provide mining cables that can work securely in enclosed places while also protecting humans and high-value equipment in the case of a fire by producing less smoke and fumes.

What are HV cables?

 If a wire or cable is rated for more than 1,000 volts, it is considered high voltage. A single wire or a multi-conductor cable can be described as high voltage. High-voltage wire or cable is commonly utilized for electrical power transmission.

Benefits

There are various advantages to using high-voltage wires or cables. The purpose of high-voltage wire and cable is to transfer power to the end user or product. The design allows high voltage to be safely delivered without causing any power loss.

Fire Rated Cable

Fire-resistant or fire rated cables were created with the goal of improving safety and reducing the risk of fire in factories and other structures. This guide will teach you all you need to know about fireproof cables. During an emergency, certain circuits are necessary to remain operational. This is made possible by the use of fire-resistant cables.

Fire resistant wires for fire alarm and other emergency systems were developed as a result of technological advancements and revisions to the National Electrical Code (NEC). The NEC CI requirements must be met, as well as IEC 60331.When a fire starts, fire resistant cables do not automatically turn off. Instead, the circuit's electricity continues to flow.

This energy is directed toward fire pumps, elevators, smoke control equipment, fire alarm systems, and other emergency systems that are required to keep people safe in the event of a disaster. During an emergency, the NEC requires that these circuits remain operational for two hours. This offers you the extra time you'll need for:

People should leave the building; firefighters should use their equipment to put out the fire; and, during an emergency, communication should be maintained.

Ill, feeble, or handicapped individuals are evacuated from care facilities such as hospitals.

Fire rated cables are of two types:

  • MI (mineral insulated) cables
  • MC (metal clad) cables

MV Cable

Medium voltage cable provides a stable power supply in the event of unplanned power outages, power delivery to remote places, and any application ranging from 5kV to 35KV. Choose a sturdy medium voltage cable with high flexibility to guarantee that your cable lasts. Aside from flexibility, the cable you purchase should have a number of features that will help your facility run smoothly and prevent downtime.

     MEDIUM VOLTAGE ELECTRICAL CABLE BENEFITS

Rubber Cable

Rubber has long been utilized as a cable insulation and sheathing material, long before PVC and PE became widely available. It is still frequently utilized in both household and industrial settings.

Typical rubber cable compounds include Natural rubber, SBR or Styrene-Butadiene Rubber, Butyl, EPR or Ethylene Propylene Rubber, Silicone, Polychloroprene, Chlorosulphonated Polyethylene (PCP) and Fluorocarbon.

The main advantage of rubber cables over other insulated wires is their excellent temperature range adaptability. They also have a high water absorption capacity. Many rubber cables also offer high abrasion and weathering resistance, making them ideal for use as trailing leads for portable electrical appliances, power tools, pumps, and generators in tough settings. Rubber cables are also blended to provide superior oil and chemical resistance.



A solar cable is made up of multiple insulated wires that are encased in an outer jacket. Professionals use them to connect solar panels and other photovoltaic system components. They can withstand intense UV exposure, high temperatures, and adverse weather. They are usually put either outside or within the solar panels.

The diameter of a cable is determined by the number of conductors it includes. Solar cables are classified according to the number of wires and their gauge. DC solar cables, solar DC main cables, and solar AC connecting cables are the three types of cables used in a PV system.
