ATC Cables: PVC Insulated Building Wires

ATC and ATC PRO MAKE Pvc Insulated copper conductor multi strand building wires and cables (IS:694/2010): A Comprehensive Overview

IS:694/2010, also known as the Indian Standard for Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Insulated Unsheathed and Sheathed Cables/Cords with Rigid and Flexible Conductors for Rated Voltages up to and Including 1100 V, outlines the specifications for electrical cables used in various applications. Let’s delve into the details:

Standard Details:

  • Title: Polyvinyl chloride insulated unsheathed and sheathed cables/cords with rigid and flexible conductor for rated voltages up to and including 1100V
  • BIS Number: IS 694:2010
  • Scope: This standard covers cables with circular copper conductors and rated voltages up to 1100 Volts.

Technical Specifications:

  • Conductors:
    - Conductor materials include solid, stranded, and flexible copper.
    - Conformity with IS:8130-2013, Class I,II and V
  • Insulation:
    - Insulation materials include PVC, FR PVC, FR-LSH, LSZH, XL-LSZH, and HRFR.
  • Rated Voltage: Up to and including 1100 Volts.
  • Flexibility: Excellent flexibility for ease of installation.
  • Temperature Rating: Suitable for use in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +105°C 2 .

Sheath and Dimensions:

  • The sheath shall be extruded in a single/double and triple layer on the core (single-core cables) or on the assembly of cores and fillers (other cables).
  • The sheath does not adhere to the cores and may include a separator or talcum powder.
  • The overall dimensions of the cables must meet specified limits, including ovality requirements 3 .

Testing:

High Voltage Test (Water Immersion Test): A sample is immersed in a water bath at 60 ± 3°C.
  • Voltage is gradually increased to 6 kV (rms) within 10 seconds and held constant for 5 minutes.
  • The core must withstand this test without breakdown.
  • Additional dc voltage testing is also performed.
  • Loss of mass testing
  • Tensile testing for strength of cables enlongation.
  • Conductor resistance testing for conductor purity.
  • Thermal testing for check cable life in certain conditions.
  • Flammability test for cables fire resistance capacity.
  • Oxygen index testing for FRLS cables
  • All types of cables testing is in-house in our state of art test laboratory.
  • Spark testing of cables: To ensure quality every meter of wires under goes high voltage spark testing which eliminating weak spots of cables

Features of Pvc Insulated Copper multi strand cables

  • Constructon: These cables consist of multiple copper strands, enhancing flexibility and conductivity.
  • Flexibility: These wires are designed to bend, twist, and coil without compromising performance. Their inherent toughness makes them ideal for use over a wide range of applications.
  • Insulation: Each meter of wire is insulated with a special grade PVC compound, confirming to IS:5831/1984 standards. This insulation offers high resistance and ensures safe electrical transmission.
  • Acid, Alkali, and Oil Resistance: ATC Round Flexible Wires resist acids, alkalies, oils, solvents, and fire, making them suitable for challenging environments.
  • Easy Installation: Their flexibility and ease of handling make installation hassle-free, especially in tight spaces. The multi strand copper cables are made with special skin coating pvc which helps to easy install cables in conduit wiring.

Application of cables

  • Domestic Wiring: Use these wires for home electrical installations, including lighting, power outlets, and appliances.
  • Industrial Machinery: Ideal for connecting motors, pumps, and other machinery where flexibility is crucial.
  • Automotive: ATC Round Flexible Wires find applications in automotive wiring harnesses.

Quality Assurance

  • ISI Certified: Our Round Flexible Wires meet ISI:694/1990 standards, ensuring safety and reliability.
  • Spark Tested: Each meter of wire undergoes high-voltage spark testing to eliminate weak spots in the insulation.
  • Choose ATC Round Flexible Wires for seamless connectivity and peace of mind
