Energy and Power Grid - Utility

An essential part of the country’s economy and infrastructure, the utility industry in India provides various services such as electricity, water, natural gas, and telecommunications. As the nation progresses towards technological solutions, the utility industry is evolving and is adopting a smart grid solution for the future. Experiments are underway to integrate the behaviours and actions of all users into the electricity network. The goal is to provide a power system that is sustainable, inexpensive and characterised by low losses, maximum performance, continuous supply and improved safety features.

While these technological changes speed up and change the utility industry, it will require the highest quality wires and cables to uphold safety standards and regulations. With cutting-edge technology at its core, Polycab is equipped to offer best-in-class solutions for power distribution and transmission at low, medium, and high voltages. Our cables and wires, like the EHV cables or medium voltage cables, are capable of enduring extreme weather conditions and are fire-resistant. As the power sector expands, so does the demand for switchgear, which in turn drives demand for transmission and distribution, where power cables also play a vital role. However, these installations have several challenges that need to be addressed to make them function efficiently.

Challenges like electrical shock, short circuits, and high leakage currents are common safety hazards. Polycab Power Cables are rigorously tested in NABL-accredited laboratories to improve compliance. Additionally, during commissioning, specialists equipped with the necessary equipment can be dispatched to the installation site to assess the condition of the cable. Furthermore, power cable installation never takes place in a straight line; it always passes through a zigzag trench in the ground. While being pulled, the cable is subjected to rough conditions and abrasion, but Polycab's power cable is jacketed with a heavy-duty polymeric sheath to protect against this. These features in a cable are particularly crucial when side wall force occurs during cable installation and routing, minimising damage. At Polycab, we are fully equipped to meet the rising demands of the utility sector and provide it with the highest-quality wire and cable solutions.
