Product Details:

We introduce ourselves as a leading manufacturer of Wires & Cables in India. With a proven track record of more than two decades, we are an ISO-9001:2000 Certified Company With a strong presence in our Industry. Our Well established manufacturing set up is situated in the industrial belt of Chattral, Gujarat and our brand name of “ AVOCAB’’ is a household name across the state and beyond . FRLS PVC Insulated Wires, In case of Fire, reduce the Toxic Smoke Generation compared to normal PVC Insulated Wires. In modern Houses & Offices No. of Gadgets are used which increases Chances of fire due to overload & Short Circuit. Generally Fire is attributed to electric short circuit hence this advisable to use/Install low & non Toxic Smoke generating (FRLS) Wires & cables. AVOCAB FRLS Wires & Cables have these enhanced properties of PVC Insulation.

High quality standards are in – built into every AVOCAB products. Rigid tests and check at every stage, from raw material through manufacturing stages and finally up to the finished product ensure that AVOCAB cables meet National Standards, and consumer approval. We Have FRLS Testing Facility as per International IEC Norms.

Avocab is manufacturing LT Power Cables with PVC or XLPE insulation of voltage grade upto 3.3 KV conforming to various Indian and International Standard Specifications. Avocab also manufactures other types of cables as listed at the end of this catalogue.

Cross Linked Polyethylene (XLPE):

• XLPE means cross-linked polyethylene or vulcanized polyethylene. The basic material is low density polyethylene. Polyethylene is a thermoplastic material consisting of long chain of hydrocarbon molecules. At elevated temperatures these molecules tend to move relative to one another so that the material becomes increasingly deformable and will eventually melt at the temperature around 110oC.
• By means of process similar to the vulcanization of rubber the polyethylene molecules can be cross-linked. The process of cross-linking or vulcanization consists of producing chemical bonds at interval between the long molecular chain to give a “ladder” effect which prevents slippage between molecules. As a result of cross-linking the material becomes heat resistant and does not soften at higher temperatures. Further it has better resistance to stress cracking and good resistance to ageing in hot air. With the change of structure there is no adverse effect on electrical properties.

 

Advantages of “Avocab” XLPE Cables:

• Dielectric losses are very small.
• Higher current carrying capacity.
• Higher short circuit rating 250oC. as against 160oC for PVC.
• Avocab XLPE can retain flexibility down upto – 40oC.
• Jointing and Termination is easy.
• Light in weight.
• They are not prone to fatigue damages due to vibrations or loading cycles.
• Has better resistance to most chemicals, oils, acids, etc.
• Can be installed along cable routes without elevation limitations.

Fire Survival Cables (Low-smoke Halogen-Free-LSHF) are used in various indoor and outdoor Applications in which maintenance of power supply during a fire is required and in areas where smoke and acid gas evolution could pose a hazard to personal or sensitive equipment in high-rise building, schools, hospitals, hotels, shopping centers, subway etc.

Electrical cables and wires are a significant fire safety issue in today’s buildings and installations:

If the insulating or jacketing materials in cables catch fire, they can represent a significant quality of fuel for fire, because of the sheer volume of cables in modern building (electrical, telephone, computer connections etc.)

Application:

• To maintain circuit integrity during the Fire.
• Special Characteristics: Withstand flame temperature of 750 degree centigrade up to 3 hours without electrical breakdown at rated voltage.
• Does not produce noxious smoke, propagate flame & fumes which hinder fire fighting and endanger life.

General Construction:

• Solid / Stranded Copper conductor lapped with Glass Mica tape, insulated with XLPE to form a core. Cores laid up together to form a power cable / control cable / Instrumentation cable with fire survival properties.

Material:

• Conductor: Copper bare or tinned. Circular or sector shaped with Glass Mica tape.
• Insulation : XLPE / LSZH
• Inner sheath: FRLS
• Amour: Wire or Strip
• Outer Sheath : FRLS / LSZH

Testing Procedure For Fire Survival Cables:

• This test is intended to evaluate cables which are designed as fire survival cables to be used for fire alarm circuits, emergency lighting, and cables for other emergency services. The test establishes whether a cable can maintain electrical circuit integrity for a time up to 3 hours at temperatures ranging from 650 °C up to in excess of 950 °C. The energized cable (at the rated voltage) is mounted horizontally in a test chamber and is exposed to a gas flame from a ribbon type burner, adjusted to give the appropriate temperature. There are many variations of this test using different conditions and a cable is rated depending on how the cable performs in the various categories. 

Resistance to Fire Alone:

• IEC 60331-21: Cables are subjected to fire at 750 °C for 90 minutes followed by a 15 min cooling period.
• BS 6387 (Category A): Cables are subjected to fire at 650 °C for 180 minutes.
• BS 6387 (Category B): Cables are subjected to fire at 750 °C for 180 minutes.
• BS 6387 (Category C): Cables are subjected to fire at 950 °C for 180 minutes.
• BS 6387 (Category S): Cables are subjected to fire at 950 °C for 20 minutes (short duration).
• Performance of Cables in the Event of Fire Resistance to Fire with Water

Avocab manufactures a wide variety of cables suitable for process instrumentation. In the projects related to power generation & distribution, chemical & fertilizer industries and various other types of engineering industries, the process instrumentation plays a vita role in measurement, supervision and control of the process. Introduction of microprocessor based/computerised instrumentation has demanded stringent quality requirements along with special electrical parameters for instrumentation cables. Very low level electrical signals pass between measuring end and display units/controllers which are situated far off. These low level signals are prone to external noise pickups and heavy silenuation during transmission.

All this means that the cables to be used for instrumentation should be designed and manufactured very carefully, Avocab with its meticulous efforts in maintaining quality, stringent in process control during manufacture and the knowledge of cable designing, is proud to say that it is capable of supplying instrumentation cables meeting any Indian/International standard or a specific requirement desired by project authority. The efforts done by Avocab are reqarded by acceptance of our quality by the country’s prime organisations such as NTPC, PDIL, EIL, BHEL, TATA’s, IOCL, L&T, ABB, KRUPP Ind, BPCL., HPCL, ESSAR, SIEMENS, Electricity Boards, Reliance, IOTL, Mukand, Honeywell, etc.
