Home Appliances
Robots
Numerically controlled machine tools
Cranes
Radars
Where cables of voltages up to 1100 volts are utilised, they are manufactured as per IS:694 and are packed in a coil form having a standard length of 100 meters. Sigma cables manufactures single as well as multi core flexible wires and cable in a range of 0.5 sq. mm. up to 400 sq. mm
Flexible cables consists of soft annealed bare copper bunched conductor, insulated & sheathed with PVC.
The ISI code used for flexible wires and cables are as follows:
‘Y’ : PVC insulated copper conductor single core wire.
‘YY’’: PVC insulated and sheathed copper conductor multi core cable.
Sigma cables can manufacture multicore cables upto a maximum of 100 cores. Flexible Auto Cables are mainly used in automobile industries |
