Whether you want to buy an agricultural pump, a borewell or an industrial setup, you must prepare a checklist to understand the cable’s quality, construction, testing standards, and long-term reliability. Here is a list of questions to ask the manufacturer to make an informed decision.

1. What Insulation & Sheathing materials are used?

The first question you can ask is about the materials used during the manufacturing process. A good manufacturer makes cables with PVC or XLPE insulation, depending on the application requirement.

For the outer layer, PVC ST2-grade sheathing is ideal as it resists moisture, soil contact, and chemical exposure in underground or underwater environments.

2. What purity of copper do you use?

Top Submersible flat and round Cable Manufacturers, like SCPL, use bright-annealed 99.97% pure bare copper conductors to ensure lower power loss, better conductivity, and long-term flexibility. They make sure all conductors are multi-stranded for handling pump movement and underwater installation pressure and stress.

3. What core and size options do you offer?

Typically, SCPL supplies a wide range:

• Flat cables: 3-core, 1.50 sq mm to 95 sq mm
• Round cables: 3-core and 4-core, 1.5 sq.mm to 120 sq.mm

This makes our flat and round cables ideal for domestic pumps, agricultural pumps, and heavy-duty borewell installations.

4. How do the cables perform underwater?

Reputed cable manufacturing companies focus on waterproofing and durable qualities. They design their cable for continuous immersion. They conduct several tests, including water ingress, insulation resistance and mechanical strength against abrasion.

• Flat cables are ideal for narrow borewells
• Round cables offer higher mechanical durability for deeper installations.

5. Are these cables suitable for pump loads?

Being one of the experienced Submersible flat and round Cable Manufacturers, we can say ‘yes.’ These cables are suitable for lump loads. They are designed for 1100V-rated systems and can handle the temperature fluctuations that occur during long pump cycles.

The insulation materials and copper conductors guarantee great performance in household and commercial setups. 

6. Do you follow standards?

A very important question. You can find in the market several companies that do not follow any standard. But the manufacturer like SCPL follows relevant Indian cable manufacturing standards such as: IS 694 for PVC-insulated cables and IS 8130 for conductor specifications. The company also provides test reports and quality certificates on request.

7. Do you provide special lengths or designs?

A reputed Submersible flat and round Cable manufacturer is committed to providing custom length manufacturing for larger orders. They can adjust their packaging or sheathing depending on your project requirements. So, they are ideal for OEMs as well. 

Conclusion

When you ask these questions related to long service life, application compatibility, sage packaging, and dependable performance, it is easy to determine why a well-engineered submersible cable makes such a difference in pump reliability.

As one of the leading Submersible flat and round Cable Manufacturers, SCPL strives to use high-purity copper, durable sheathing, and consistent manufacturing standards to ensure that both flat and round cables perform as expected, whether they are used for domestic or commercial purposes.
