DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION

CONDUCTORS
The conductors of power cables are made from
electrical purity aluminium, and those of control cables
are of annealed high conductivity copper. However,
copper conductor power cables can also be supplied
against orders. All conductors conform to IS:8130-1984.

INSULATION
High quality PVC base compound is used for PVC Cables
and high quality Cross Linked Polyethylene (XLPE)
unfilled insulating compound is used for XLPE Cables.

HIGH SHORT CIRCUIT RATING:


Maximum allowable conductor temperature during

HIGH EMERGENCY LOAD CAPACITY:


XLPE Cables can be operated even at 1300 C during

BENDING RADIUS:
While Installing 'GLOSTER' Cables, the following minimum bending radius should be observed such that
the cables, and especially the insulation, are not damaged. Wherever possible, larger bending radii should be used.

VOLTAGE GRADE OF CABLES RECOMMENDED MINIMUM BENDING RADII

Upto 1.1KV (12 X D) For Multi Core Cables


Upto 1.1KV (15 X D) For Single Core Cables
3.3 KV upto 11KV (15 X D) For Single and Multi Core Cables
Above 11 KV (15 X D) For Multi Core Cables
(20 X D) For Single Core Cables

Where 'D' is the overall diameter of Cables.
