Construction
A concentrically stranded conductor, ACSR features hard-drawn 1350-H19 aluminum wire layers wrapped around a galvanized steel core—either single-wire or stranded, sized accordingly. Its steel component uses Class A or B galvanization for corrosion resistance. Designed to meet transmission and distribution lines’ electrical and mechanical strength requirements, ACSR offers a balanced configuration through calibrated aluminum and galvanized steel wire ratios.
Applications
Frequently utilized as bare cable in overhead transmission systems, and additionally functions as primary and secondary bare cable for distribution networks.

We will ensure that all raw materials are subject to strict inspection procedures upon entry to the factory, and can only be stored in the warehouse after they have been confirmed to meet the standards.
Process inspection
NPC has strict quality control procedures for each process in the cable production process.
Process documents: Develop detailed process flow and operation instructions to clarify the operating specifications and quality standards of each process.
Equipment calibration: Regularly calibrate key equipment such as wire drawing machines, stranding machines, extruders, and diameter gauges to ensure that the accuracy meets the requirements.
First piece confirmation: Before each batch of production, the first piece is trial-produced to confirm that the process parameters, product dimensions, electrical performance, etc. meet the standards before mass production can be carried out.
Finished Product
Inspectors conduct ex-factory inspections on cables according to relevant standards and corresponding product inspection specifications to ensure that each ex-factory product complies with the process regulations.

Instrumentation Cables—XLPE Insulated, Overall Screened, Lead Sheathed, Wire Armoured,PVC Sheathed Cables(CU/XLPE/OSCR/LEAD/SWA/PVC)
Instrumentation Cables are multi-conductor cables that carry and transport low-voltage electrical signals. These low-voltage signals are used to control and monitor electrical power systems. Instrumentation cables have many different industrial applications that include broadcasting, equipment control, such as drilling and pumping in the oil and gas industry, and data transfer, which includes analog and digital signals. They are manufactured according to the BS EN 50288-7 and BS EN 50288-1 standards to ensure quality. Depending on the application, instrumentation cables can be insulated with PVC or XLPE; the cables can be armoured or unarmoured. The sheathing materials can be of PVC, LSZH, or PE. The cables can have additional flame retardant or flame retardant properties, and they can be manufactured with special protections such as lead sheaths, or DRYLAM or AIRBAG technology.
