When you need to select a power cable for any residential or commercial building, you’re overwhelmed with the types of cables. Typically, the market is flooded with a wide range of wires, including Power Cables, Control Cables, Single-Core Industrial Flexible Cables, Multi-Core Industrial Flexible Cables, Armored Copper Cables, Building Wires, and more.
With that in mind, as one of the leading Copper Power Cable Manufacturers, we will guide you on the different types of cables and wires and their applications. This will help you pick the right solutions for your needs.
#1. XLPE Power Cables (Copper Conductor)
This is a type of low-voltage power cable that is insulated with PVC or XLPE using copper conductors. They are used to distribute low-voltage power in residential, commercial, or light industrial buildings. They are suitable for lighting, feeding appliances, panels, and small motors. You can also use them in local distribution systems, not the main transmission lines.
#2. LV PVC & XLPE Control Cables (Copper Conductor)
Copper power cable manufacturers offer these cables that come with copper conductors and PVC / XLPE insulation. These cables are used in control circuits in industrial settings. For example, in automation or control panels.
You can use them in signal or instrumentation wiring where several cores carry control signals. These cabling solutions are perfect for places where flexible cables are required to route through machinery.
#3. LV Power Cables Up to 11 kV
This is a type of cable suitable for low to medium-voltage distribution systems in manufacturing plants, factories, or other campuses. They can power heavier loads or sections of a system where higher voltage (higher than standard LV) is required.
#4. Single-Core Industrial Flexible Cables (Copper)
As the name suggests, single-core industrial flexible cables are designed for industrial use in PVC, FR / FRLS, and more. They have copper conductors. Use these cables where frequent bending or movement is required. For example, rotting parts, machines, robotics. You can use them to connect portable equipment, motors, and feeders where flexibility is a must.
#5. Multi-Core Industrial Flexible Cables (Copper)
As one of the experienced copper power cable manufacturers, we can say that multi-core flexible copper cables are suitable for more complex loads and wiring. You can use them where there is a requirement for more complex wiring that combines power and signals or multiple circuits in one sheath.
Multi-core industrial flexible cables are suitable for control panels, automation, machines, or wiring that require flexibility, multiple conductors in one run.
#6. Armoured Copper Cables
Armoured Copper Cables are perfect for underground, heavy-duty, or harsher conditions. Also known as buried cables, they are used where protection for the machine is important.
- These protect machines from abrasion, impact, rodents, and moisture.
- They are perfect for power transmission where you need robust quality conductors.
Shree Chanderprabhu produces low-tension copper armoured cables for power transmission networks.
#7. Building Wires (Copper, Flame-retardant / FR / FRLS / FRZH / etc.)
These wires are suitable for internal wiring in industrial, commercial, or residential buildings. They are safe to use in conduit pipes, walls, domestic circuits and more. Available in multi-strand copper conductor with various flame-retardant PVC insulation options (FR, FRLS, FRZH, FRLF, FRFS), they are ideal for places that require fire-safety properties (less smoke, no halogen, heat resistance).
Use these wires in public buildings, escape routes, or spaces where safety during fire is essential. They also offer perfect solutions for lighting, fans, outlets, and HVAC inside structures.
