Product Description
Product Details
Type TW, TWU, THW UL listed Submersible Pump Cable for borehole pumps with 3 and 4 conductors with or without Ground. Sizes range from 14 AWG to 350 MCM with PVC or TPE jacket.
These cables are manufactured from pure virgin copper wires and a specially formulated PVC & TPE compound to meet most stringent requirements of UL 83.
The cables are listed as UL and ULc and are suitable for operation upto -400 C temperature
Construction :
- Conductor:High purity electrolytic grade bright annealed flexible bunched bare, copper conductor according to ASTM B172
- Insulation:Specially developed dielectric grade moisture resistant PVC
- Sheath:High abrasion resistant tough & flexible PVC
Robust Design for Challenging EnvironmentsThese cables are built to withstand harsh conditions, making them ideal for continuous submersion and direct burial. The flame-retardant PVC insulation ensures fire safety, while superior resistance to moisture, chemicals, and UV exposure (in protected installations) prolongs longevity. Their flat, unarmored structure enhances flexibility and ease of installation.
Versatile Application and CustomizationDesigned for submersible pumps across irrigation, agriculture, and industrial settings, the cables support voltages up to 1100V and temperatures up to 70C. With customizable lengths and markings, they seamlessly adapt to unique installation requirements, ensuring every project receives a precise solution.
FAQ's of PVC Flat Submersible Drop Cables Without Ground:
Q: How are PVC Flat Submersible Drop Cables installed for optimal performance?
A: For best results, these cables should be installed for submersible pumps in clean water wells, deep wells, or open wells. They are suited for both submerged installations and direct burial, following a minimum bending radius of 12 times the overall diameter to protect cable integrity.
Q: What testing standards do these cables comply with regarding safety and current?
A: The cables adhere to IS 694 standards for current rating, dielectric strength (2.5kV for 1 minute), and insulation properties. Flame retardancy is tested per IEC 60332-1, ensuring reliable fire performance.
Q: When is it suitable to use these cables without a ground core?
A: These cables are appropriate when a separate earthing arrangement exists or when the application specifies two- or three-core without ground, typically for standard submersible pump systems in agriculture or industrial installations.
Q: Where can these cables be applied effectively?
A: PVC Flat Submersible Drop Cables are perfect for installations in irrigation fields, agricultural water pumps, and industrial submersible applications, especially in situations requiring continuous operation in wet or harsh environments.
Q: What benefits do the flame retardant and moisture resistant features provide?
A: The flame retardant PVC prevents fire spread, enhancing safety. The excellent moisture resistance ensures reliable conductivity and insulation, even during prolonged exposure to water or humid conditions, reducing maintenance needs.
Q: How does the flat cable configuration enhance its application?
A: The flat design improves cable flexibility, simplifies routing in confined spaces, and allows for easier stacking and handling during installation or storage, which is beneficial in cramped submersible pump chambers.
