LT XLPE/PVC Insulated Power Cables

LT power cables, also known as low tension cables, are designed to transmit electrical power at low voltage levels. They are typically used for indoor power distribution in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. These cables are made of high-quality copper or aluminum conductors that are insulated with PVC, XLPE, or other materials to protect against electrical leakage and physical damage. LT power cables are available in various sizes and configurations, including single-core or multi-core designs, armored or unarmored, and with or without sheathing.

Applications of Power Cables:

  1. Industrial applications: LT Power Cables are used to power heavy machinery and equipment in manufacturing plants, mines, and other industrial settings.
  2. Commercial applications: LT Power Cables are used to supply power to buildings, offices, shopping centers, and other commercial establishments.
  3. Infrastructure applications: LT Power Cables are used in the construction of airports, ports, railways, and highways to power lighting, security systems, and other infrastructure.
  4. Renewable energy: LT Power Cables are used to connect renewable energy sources such as wind and solar farms to the power grid.
  5. Oil and gas industry: LT Power Cables are used in offshore drilling rigs and onshore oil fields to power drilling equipment and other machinery.
  6. Marine applications: LT Power Cables are used in ships and boats to power navigation equipment, communication systems, and other onboard electrical systems.
  7. Residential applications: LT Power Cables are used to supply power to homes and apartments, powering lighting, heating and cooling systems, appliances, and other electrical equipment.
