The finest electrolytic grade (E. C.) Grade pure copper or (E. C.) Grade aluminium is used for processing the conductor.
The process begins from reducing the wire rod to desired diameter of wire (Wire Drawing).
A pre determined number of wires (3-91) are then stranded together to form a conductor, in desired profile (Stranding). In case of flexible wires, this process of stranding is called Bunching.
The conductor is then coated with uniform layer of PVC/PE compound or XLPE compound, with the specified thickness and colour as the case may be, which is called a core insulation.
Required number of cores are then put together along with fillers and laid up to form a cable (cable-laying up) these number of cores vary from 2 -100 depending upon the type of cable being manufactured.
Incase of single core cable, the insulated core is sent for sheathing directly. But in respect of multi core armoured cable, the laid up cable is given an extruded/taped coating of PVC/PE to cover the laid up cable, which is called inner sheath.
The inner Sheathed cable is then armoured either with flat steel strip or with round steel wire.
The armoured cable is then covered with PVC/PE compound of required quality and colour to give it what is called the outer sheath. Outer sheath is marked with the trade marks of the company, voltage grade, specification details & any other details as required by the customer.
The finished cable is then wound on wooden drums and sent to the laboratory for pre-despatch testing. Exhaustive tests are done & then only cable is despatched.
