Introduction
Introduction
KDI Power Single & Multicore Flexible Copper Cables are widely used for low-voltage signals, electrical motors, appliances, control panels, DC power transformers, electrical boards, battery connections, and various industrial applications. These cables are designed with a highly flexible construction and offer excellent dielectric strength for reliable performance.
KDI Power Single & Multicore Flexible Copper Cables provide a high degree of thermal stability along with superior oxygen and temperature index properties. In the unlikely event of fire, these cables help restrict the spread of flames, supporting safer conditions and facilitating rescue operations.
Application
These wires and cables are widely used for wiring in control panels, machinery, and various electrical installations in both dry and damp indoor environments, particularly in demanding industrial conditions.
Features
These wires are manufactured using bright-annealed, 99.97% pure bare copper conductors, ensuring low conductor resistance and efficient electrical performance. The sheathing is made with a specially formulated PVC compound that allows easy stripping while providing strong resistance to mechanical abrasion during use.
The PVC compounds used for insulation and sheathing feature a high oxygen and temperature index, helping to limit the spread of fire and enhance overall safety.
