Ensure Your Home and Office Safety with UL Approved Cables Installation

UL approved cables are intended for fixed wiring installation for three building types- residential, industrial, and commercial. UL listed wires and cables must not only meet individual UL standards, but also required to comply with special requirements of NEC (National Electrical Code). Under NEC, there are certain details define specific end user applications and location for installation of listed cable or wire.

What Are The Characteristics Of UL Approved Wires Or Cables?

Generally, the manufacturing units use different markings to ensure authenticity of the cable. The product surface is marked with vital information for proper installation. At times, when manufacturers find surface marking impossible, they use marker tape for marking and categorize the cable under UL list:

Understanding Electrical Treeing Phenomena In Xlpe Cables Used By Indian Industries

The electrical trees formation in the cable insulation is a major cause behind the failure of underground XLPE cables. India has few wire and cable manufacturing companies who are leading the industry and making people aware of electrical treeing phenomena in detail.

A defect site in cable insulation can form sorts of tree structure- tree-like trees, bush-type trees, intrinsic type, and fibrillar type trees as per the voltage. When XLPE cables manufacturers in India conducted a test, they discover that a higher rate of voltage influences the rate of tree propagation that results in reduction of cable insulation life. They also tried to identify the partial discharges, caused by the propagation and inception of electrical trees, via UHF technique.

The Industry Of Power Cables In India

Power cables in India are extensively used by civilization as per the convenience. Many people mistakenly name electrical cables as electrical wires. However, the terms are different- wire is a single conductor of power electricity and cable carries multiple conductors within a casing. Manufacturers of power cables and wires offer different types and designs for power cables for industrial purposes. They also deliver single conductor power cables on request of the customers. In this article, we will discuss about different categories and uses of Power cables in India.  

Thermal wearing of PVC Cables- Determining suitable cable for operations

PVC cables are durable, but time lower down the thermal strength of cables that results in severe safety issues, costing issues and performance issues. We are aware of the present weather conditions in India and especially in summers. PVC cables installed on the roof and in wall cavities are prone to extreme temperature for prolonged time duration throughout their service life. Manufacturing units of PVC cables in India are using formulated polymers to offer the listed characteristics to the PVC products:

·        Mechanical protection

·        Electrical protection

·        Long service life

·        Ease of installation
