Manufacturing process
From conductor
to finished coil.
Understand the stages that turn conductor material into insulated wire and cable, ready for its intended application.
The construction behind the connection
A typical production flow
Six stages.
One connected process.
This is a general process overview. Stages, materials and tests vary by product. Confirm the exact construction and manufacturing details with Power Cab Industries for your selected range.
Start with the construction.
Material selection
Conductor material and insulation are chosen to suit the wire or cable specification.
Copper or aluminium · Insulation typePrepare the conductor wire.
Drawing & annealing
Drawing reduces metal to the required wire diameter. Annealing softens copper where the construction calls for it.
Wire diameter · Material conditionBuild the required structure.
Conductor formation
For stranded constructions, fine wires are bunched or stranded together. A solid conductor does not need this step.
Solid or stranded · Conductor sizeAdd the protective layers.
Insulation & assembly
Insulation is extruded around the conductor. Multicore constructions bring insulated cores together, with sheathing where specified.
Insulation · Core arrangement · SheathCheck against the specification.
Inspection & testing
Dimensional, visual and electrical checks depend on the product. The applicable test plan should be confirmed for the selected range.
Dimensions · Electrical requirementsPrepare the finished length.
Coiling & packing
Finished wire or cable is wound into coils or onto reels, then packed for the required length and handling needs.
Length · Packing format
From process to product selection
The right details
come first.
Use the product pages for catalogue specifications. For an order, discuss these three points with the team.
What needs confirming?
Ask about the insulation, voltage rating and test information relevant to your selected product.
How should it arrive?
Confirm coil length, quantity, colour, packing and availability before ordering.
