About LV Power Cables
Where LV Power Cables are used
1) Industrial Manufacturing
Use of LV cables in industrial manufacturing includes supplying power to machines, motor drives and other items used in the manufacturing process with 1.1kV of reliable electrical energy.
2) Commercial Buildings
In commercial buildings, lighting circuits and HVAC systems are supplied by LV cables. They also provide a way to get general power to office buildings and retail stores through the use of an LV cable distribution system.
3) Infrastructure Projects
LV cables supply electrical power to pumping stations, water treatment plants, and municipal installations.
Installation of LV armored cable in hazardous locations is necessary for compliance with safety requirements for refinery and chemical plant installations.
LV cable is a source of auxiliary power for substations, as well as for electrical control panels used with generators.
6) Mining
Heavy duty armored LV cables are used to supply power to both underground and surface mining operations.
7) Marine
LV cables are used to supply power for shipboard electrical systems and must be moisture resistant and meet mechanical protection requirements.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to frequently asked questions related to LV Power Cables.
Low voltage cables are used up to and including a maximum value of 1.1kV (1100 volts). LV cables made by Tempsens are designed specifically to operate within a maximum voltage rating of LV for applications such as industrial and commercial users of electricity that need dependable power transfer without exceeding the design criteria for medium voltage equipment.
LV (Low Voltage) cables operate at voltages of 1.1kV and below, and are generally used to wire buildings and supply electricity. MV (Medium Voltage) cables operate at voltages between 1kV and 35kV, and are typically used in distribution systems of electric utilities. HV (High Voltage) cables operate at voltages greater than 35kV, and are used for the transmission of electricity over long distances; they require specific insulation and design for improved performance under varying degrees of electrical stress.
A low-voltage power cable is composed of copper or tin plated copper (from 0.50 mm² to 300 mm²) as electrolytic grade conductors, core insulation made from either PVC, XLPE, or LSZH materials, a screen of either aluminium foil or mesh braid coverings used on the shielded variants, both the inner & outer sheaths protect the core from environmental damage; also available G.I. armour (metal-woven covering) for additional mechanical and impact resistance for difficult installations.
The various types that Tempsens uses include PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) for standard installations, XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene) to withstand higher heat exposure (up to 90°C), HR PVC (Heat Resistant PVC), LSZH (Low Smoke and Zero Halogen) polymers for fire safety, FR PVC and FRLS PVC, which are flame retardant, along with PE (Polyethylene) or XLPO are used for some extreme applications that comply with IS & IEC Standards.
