SLIPDAC HOUSEWIRE ®
LOW FRICTION SINGLE CORE GENERAL PURPOSE CABLE
CABLE DESCRIPTION High conductivity annealed stranded copper conductors to SANS 1411 Part 1. Insulated with PVC and skin coloured in plain colours to SANS 1411 Part 2. Cable is manufactured to SANS 1507 Part 2. SLIPDAC® is the Aberdare Power Cables trade name for a newly developed range of General Purpose wires with superior low friction characteristics.
INSTALLATION INFORMATION For the wiring of Industrial Buildings, Housing, Control Panels, where SLIPDAC® will be easier to pull through conduit, than standard housewire particularly on long and difficult runs.

SANS 1507-2 -10°C to 70°C 300 / 500V and 600 / 1000V Complete range of colours 100m shrink-wrapped perforated coils
A specially developed low friction PVC compound which is used in the insulation of House wire for supply to the South African market. The decreased coefficient of friction is the result of the migration of the slip additives to the cable surface due to the defined incompatibility of the slip additive with the polymer. ("Slip" is a term used to describe the sliding of parallel film surfaces over each other or the sliding of film surfaces over substrates.)
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF THIS PRODUCT SOLUTION COMPARED TO STANDARD HOUSEWIRE? The following benefits are relevant: • The pulling force required to pull the product through conduit, is significantly reduced, as the cable-to-conduit and cable to cable friction is lower than on the standard product. • The product is neatly and accurately coiled on automatic coilers, which reduces the risk of entanglement. • The SLIPDAC® coils are sized for placement in a standard SLIPDAC® bucket where they may be stored securely after use. Refer PHOTO 3. • The heat-shrunk plastic used in the packaging, keeps the coil in a sturdy, compact form until such time as it is used, thus there is a reduced risk of entanglement due to poor handling. • The perforated packaging allows for easy access to the wire end on the inside of the coil, without having to disturb the packaging or the body of the coil during use. Refer PHOTO 1. • The packaging is perforated on both the top and bottom, thus allowing coils to be stacked for simultaneous extraction of all required colours. A useful tool for this purpose is a bucket, which will hold the stacked coils in place while the wire is being withdrawn. Refer PHOTO 2.

SLIPDAC HOUSEWIRE ®
LOW FRICTION SINGLE CORE GENERAL PURPOSE CABLE
ABERDARE CABLES has established a procedure for testing of the pulling force required to pull a sample of cable through a preformed length of standard 20mm SABS conduit. The initial force required to move the cable was measured and recorded for a number of samples of different sizes in the house wire range of colours, for both standard products as well as for SLIPDAC® See attached photograph of the SLIPDAC® rig used during testing. (The conduit was exchanged for an unused piece from the same batch, at regular intervals).

INTERDAC 3
INTERMDIATE VOLTAGE 3 PHASE 4 WIRE 1900 / 3300 V UNDERGROUND SUPPLY CABLE
CABLE DESCRIPTION 3 circular stranded plain soft copper conductors, XLPE insulated, layed up with one circular stranded tinned soft copper earthing conductor, collectively screened with an aluminium polyethylene laminate (APL) tape, polyethylene sheathed underground supply cable.
INSTALLATION INFORMATION Use of intermediate Voltage allows increased power transfer over long distances with smaller conductor sizes, eg for loads typically 25 kVA this represents a considerable saving when compared to conventional systems.
Underground cable - with a specially adapted tractor, the cable can be buried with minimum labour, and thus least cost. Screened cable construction for ease of fault location. Buried cable results in a "clean" landscape - no poles or overhead lines to hinder farm vehicles.

HOUSE SERVICE CONNECTING CABLE WITH OR WITHOUT PILOT CORES
CABLE DESCRIPTION Circular stranded hard drawn copper phase conductor, XLPE insulated with concentrically arranged identified neutral and bare earth conductors. Polyethylene sheathed 600/1000 V service connection cable. Nylon ripcord laid under sheath. Manufactured to SANS 1507 and NRS 063..
Small overall diameter - concentric construction (SNE - Seperate Neutral Earth). Lower mass - due to smaller diameter - no steel wire armour. Increased safety - reliable earthing. Improved reliability - UV stable sheath and core insulation and water blocked. Tamper and vandal proof - unauthorised access to phase conductor inhibited by concentric layer. Easy strip with nylon ripcord.

ABC LOW VOLTAGE AERIAL BUNDLE CONDUCTOR
CABLE DESCRIPTION Self-supporting system consists of four cores of hard-drawn stranded and compacted aluminum conductors of equal crosssection and insulated with carbon-loaded XLPE to ensure UV protection. All cores strained equally. Supporting-core system consists of three phase cores of hard-drawn stranded compacted aluminium conductors insulated with carbon- loaded XLPE laid up around an aluminium-alloy supporting core insulated with carbon loaded XLPE to ensure UV protection. Additional sub-conductors optional in both self-supporting and supporting-core systems.

FLAMOSAFE RANGE OF FIRE PERFORMANCE OF ELECTRIC CABLES FR (Flame Retardant) Red and Orange Stripe cables are designed to reduce the spread of fire along a cable tray or duct. However, when these cables burn, they give off large quantities of toxic gases and smoke. (FYRGARD®) LHFR (Low Halogen) Blue Stripe cables has specially formulated PVC that reduces the emission of hydrochloric acid during burning of the cables. (LOHAL®) NHLSFR (Non Halogen)White Stripe cables are designed to reduce flame propagation and smoke in those instances where a fire may develop. By replacing the standard PVC with XLPE insulation and EVA bedding and outer sheath, no HCI gases will be liberated during the burning of the cables. (LOTOX®) Fire Survival cables essentially are very similar to LOTOX cables but contain in additional a glass/mica tape, wrapped around each conductor, to prevent short circuits during a fire situation. The cables allow continuity of operation of vital circuits, and are designed to survive exposure to a temperature of 950°C for a period of three hours. (FYRSURE®)
