Types of Cables Supplied in the African Market

Africa’s economic outlook improved in 2017 compared with 2016 and is expected to gain momentum in 2018. 

GDP growth in 2017 was expected at 3.0% up from 2.2 in 2016 and projected to expand to 3.7% in 2018.

ZMS cable are founded in 1990, providing a wide production scope of Electric wire,Power cable 220kV or below, Overhead conductor AAC AAAC ACSR,ABC cable, Submarine cable, control cable, Instrument cable,Solar cable,Airfield cable,Rubber cable, lan cable and coaxial cable to more than 90 countries. 

Among them, African market takes 37%.

Till now, We have supplied the following series of wires and cables.

1 Overhead Bare Conductors AAC AAAC and ACSR

Application: bare conductors have been widely used in power transmission lines with various voltage levels.

Because they have such good characteristics as simple structure, convenient installation and maintenance, low cost large transmission capacity. 

And they are also suitable for laying across rivers valleys and the places where special geographical features exist.

2 SWA Steel Wire Armoured Power Cable 

It manufactured by ZMS cable meets or exceeds the requirements of all international standards like ASTM, AS, BS, CSA, DIN, IEC, NFC, SS -etc Cu(Al) conductor XLPE insulated PVC sheated armored power cable is not only have excellent electric, mechanical properties.

But also have powerful resistance against chemical corrosion, and environmental stress. 

Their structures are simple. 

The permissible maximum operating temperature is 90'C. 

It is convenient for using, and they can be laid with no restriction of different elevation.

Application:

For distribution networks; also for connection to generation units and plant and process connection. 

For installation in ground, in water outdoors, indoors and in cable ducts for power stations, industry, and distribution networks. 

The water blocking tape avoids propagation inside the cable.

Rated voltage: 

0.6/1kV, 6.35/11kV,19/33kV

3 BS5308 Instrument Cable

Application: 

Are generally use for indoor installation and underground,suitable for wet and damp areas. 

Generally used within industrial process manufacturing plants for communication, data and voice transmission signals and services.

Also used for the interconnection of electrical equipment and instruments, typically in petroleum industry.

Main Types of BS5308 Instrument Cables:

Cu/MG or not/PE or XLPE insulation/IS/OS/PVC or LSOH

Cu/ PE insulation/IS/OS/PE/SWA/PVC

Cu/MG/XLPE insulation/IS/OS/LSOH/SWA/LSOH

Cu/XLPE insulation/IS/OS/LSOH/SWA/LSOH

Size: pairs from 1 to 50 pairs with cross section area 0.5mm2,0.75mm2,1mm2,1.5mm2,2.5mm2 etc

Of course, the above are the main types we supplied to African market, also the electric wires, housing wires, fiber optic cable, flat cable,ABC cable are exported to there too.
