Some of HVDC lines in India are the Rihand-Delhi HVDC bipolar 500 kV DC transmission link, having rated capacity of 1500 MW is of length 814 km; Chandrapur-Padghe bipolar line of transmission is of length 753 kms with capacity 1500 MW at 500 kV; Talcher-Kolar 500 kV DC transmission line of length 1836 kms has capacity of 2000 MW and many more lines are in progress... - B Nageshwar Rao

Cables are extensively used in photovoltaic systems and their management can often be critical for effective functioning. Various standards for cables used for the purpose are also being discussed. - Dr L Ashok Kumar

Underground cables help in ensuring uninterrupted power supply that are hitherto uncommon in overhead systems. The main hindrance in ensuring uninterrupted power supply through overhead systems is the non-availability of space in developed urban areas. - Dr B S Sreekanthan, M Shravanth Vasisht

Underground cables offer an affordable and justifiable solution for critical parts and in some cases the entire length of overhead high voltage power lines. With appropriate technology used in appropriate places, the environment impact of underground cables can be minimised… - Munazama Ali

Self-regulating trace heater cables on roofs or gutters are used to melt ice during winter months. When used in gutters the cable is not meant to keep the gutters free of ice or snow, but only to provide to free path for the melted water to get off the roof and down the downspout or drain piping. Similarly, hot water service piping can be traced, so that a circulating system is not needed to provide hot water at outlets. The combination of trace heating and the correct thermal balance where the heat output from the trace heating matches the heat loss from the pipe. Self –limiting or regulating tapes have been developed and are very useful in this application. In this paper authors like to discuss about development, uses and product classification approach to measure the temperature class of thermopads make self-regulating type trace heater model STF 15 J. - Navin Kumar, A.

The CF.Q module checks and evaluates cable data in real mode and notifies when replacement is required in good time.

The growth of infrastructure generates scope for further development of the wires and cables industry in India. - By Supriya A Oundhakar, Associate Editor

This article provides an introduction to the cable system types and presents an overview into system planning considerations for using underground cable systems.

Wires are the omnipresent, unsung heroes pulsating with electricity, bridging distances and bringing surroundings to life. Copper's unique electrical and thermal properties make it secure, efficient and a durable material for residential and commercial installations…
