What are Wires & Cables?

Wires & Cables consist of a metallic conductor over which a polymeric coating is given & then protect the same. Manufacturing of wires & cables consist of number of procedure stages which are1.Heavy Wire Drawing 2.Medium Wire Drawing 3.Fine Wire Drawing 4.Bunching 5.Twisting 6.Insulation coating 7.Stranding 8.Jacket Coating etc.

Types Of Wires
POLYCAB manufactures all types of wires & cables except optical fiber. The major product ranges are as follows :
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. Domestic / Building Wires Flexible Wires Flexible Industrial Cables. LT Power Cables HT Power Cables Control Cables Signal Cables Instrumentation Cables Submersible Cables Heat Resistant Cables Elastomeric Cables Communication Cables Speciality Cables Steel braided Cables

Domestic Wires
Description : It consists of copper conductor over which a PVC coating of a predecided thickness is to be provided. Building wires are of different sizes based on its application / consumption of electrical current (Ampere) which are as follows : 0.5 sq.mm 0.75 sq.mm 1 sq.mm 1.5 sq.mm 2.5 sq.mm 4.0 sq.mm 6.0 sq.mm 10 sq.mm 16 sq.mm

(Domestic / Building Wires)

Generally for lighting load as well as low capacity load up to 1.5 sq.mm wires are used. In high current area such as (Washing Machine, Heater etc) higher sizes of wires are used.

Building Wires

Building Wires
Flame Retardant Low Smoke: In the Case of fire, convectional PVC insulated wires give out thick black smoke and toxic fumes of hydrochloric acid gas. This impairs visibility and hampers rescues operations.

Application - It is thus ideal of concealed and conduit wiring in multi-storied high rise buildings such as hotels, banks, hospitals, factories, commercial complexes and residential apartments, etc.
Flame Retardant Zero Halogen: The main advantages are superior flame resistance, low smoke & reduced toxicity. These cables are ideal for use in environments, where high performance, reliability and human safety is required. The broad application include Application / Utility: Power generation, co-generation and power plants. Industrial Plants : Petrochemicals, Paper, Pharmaceutical and Sensitive Industries Data Centre : Computer Rooms, Switching Cables etc Highly Populated Facilities : Metro Rails, Building, Hotels, Hospitals, etc Military Applications : Aircrafts, Marine and Naval Submarine, Ships. Typical applications are in hotels, theaters, multiplexes, shopping malls, metro railways, hospitals, schools, commercial complexes and high-rise buildings.

Production Process
Heavy Drawing : This is a process in which 8 mm copper wire rod is drawn down to 1.8 mm .The process involves high lubrication drawing dies & annealing of resulting wires by high intensity current. Medium Wire Drawing / Fine Wire Drawing : This is a process in which multiple number of wires of diameter 1.8 mm are drawn down to 0.3 mm or 0.2 mm as desired .The process involves high degree of skill lubrication diamond dies and annealing by high intensity current. Bunching / Twisting : This is a process in which no of drawn conductors are twisted together at pre-decided twist / meter & then wind out in a metallic real. Insulation Coating : In this process bunched & twisted copper conductor are fed into a cross head die in which the molten polymer is applied from the other side. This together is a metal conductor over which a plastic coat which is called insulated wire. The same is to pass through a cool water trough for cooling down to room temperature & wind into a real. Stranding : The number of insulated cores is twisted together in a pre-decided pitch to make the bunch circular.

Production Process
Jacket Coating : This is a process in which a heavy duty polymeric material is to be applied over circular stranded insulated core. Stranded cores are to be passed through a cross head in which molten polymeric compound is applied as jacket. The above processes are defined to mention the stages required for manufacturing wires & cables. Each operation involves an optimum quantity of scrap to be produced due to following Criteria. For Job Setting For Raw Material Change Quantum Change ( pay off change like Bobbin) Color Change Size Change etc. The accumulation of above scrap in each operation will be a substantial amount. Since the number of operation to make this product is very high as well as an optimum amount is generated in each operation, the quantity of scrap is also very large in such products. To remain in the business one has to control & reduce these parameters for higher profitability.

Testing of Wires & Significance of Testing

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Conductor resistance Low power losses. Power losses / Energy efficiency Reduced electricity bill. FR Test & significance Safety in case of fire. Oxygen Index test - Ensures delayed ignition of wires. Smoke density test Ensures Low smoke emission.

Why Choose Polycab Wires

Our products / wires have certain ingredients & performance parameters which helps protection against short circuit. We use only Electrolytic Grade Copper (99.97% purity) for making the conductors of our wires. Polycab wires have lower conductor resistance which results in reduction of conductor temperature when the cable is carrying current. Whereas other local manufacturers use recycled Copper with higher impurities & thereby higher resistance characteristics. Such ordinary wires tend to get heated up and thereby cause fire hazards.

Why Choose Polycab Wires

Bring in Branding of Triguard Technology Safe Raho. Save Karo. Protection from Fire, Shock and Short Circuits Gives 25% Energy savings when tested against ordinary wires under standard Test conditions.

Why Choose Polycab Wires

Polycab wires assures 25% power saving which was reflected under standard test conditions which proves the lower conductor resistance. Where as the ordinary wires when tested have higher conductor resistance so more power consumption. Polycab uses virgin PVC Compound for cable insulation. Our wires also contain flame retardant compounds which is measured by Oxygen Index Test (its value should not be less than 29%).

3rd Party Certification has shown that Polycab helps in saving 25% more Electricity flowing through our house wires against other wires.

The Copper used in making our wires is 99.97% pure. It is called EG Copper (Electrolyte Grade) is of Sterlite Industries (I) Ltd. who is the largest Producer of Copper.
