  Copper Ground rods are basically metal rods, often made of copper or copper-bonded steel. These rods are primarily used in ground systems to provide a safe and reliable path for electrical current to flow into the earth. 3 Benefits of Using Copper Ground Rods Dissipation of Electrical Surges Copper rods create a diversion for electrical energy during electrical surges, which can potentially damage connected devices. They provide a low-resistance path for excess energy to flow into the ground. Technically, they act as protectors, safeguarding everything from sensitive electronics to extensive operations and people involved. Consequently, these rods are a critical component in fire prevention and safety ecosystems. Protection Against Lightning Strikes Similarly, copper ground rods also provide a low-impedance path to encourage lightning travel through the ground. This prevents lightning from entering buildings, protecting structures and equipment. The space used for creating the gr...

  Most high-risk infrastructures, including hospitals, schools, power plants, and other industrial facilities, incorporate fire survival cables (FS cables) to ensure the electrical power supply continues when a fire event occurs. This is necessary as FS cables allow functioning of critical equipment such as fire alarms, evacuation systems, and emergency lighting. Let's explore the basics of fire survival cables. What Are Fire Survival Cables? Definition: Fire survival cables are made of materials that are highly resistant to heat and flames. Such cable design helps them maintain electrical integrity when exposed to extreme temperatures. Primary purpose: To curb the failure of electrical systems that can result in severe consequences, helping in both damage control as well as safe evacuation. Construction: FS cables are constructed with special mineral insulation or ceramic compounds. These materials provide them high resistance to fire/heat. Moreover, FS cables also come with a c...

  Industrial wires have different wiring needs than commercial and residential wires. These wires are used in highly demanding conditions to fulfill unique industrial requirements such as manufacturing, construction, and automotive. In manufacturing, wires are subjected to constant mechanical stress and chemical exposure, while they must endure harsh weather conditions and physical wear in construction. The automotive industry, on the other hand, requires wires that can perform reliably under high temperatures. Therefore, choosing the right wire is important and so is being aware of the factors to consider while selecting industrial wires. This helps you minimize the risk of failures and reduce downtime. Key Factors to Consider When Selecting Industrial Wires Durability: Durability has to be the top priority when choosing industrial wires. This is because cables experience intense strains in harsh industrial settings. A lot of factors contribute to these strains, including extreme ...

  DICABS started as a conductor manufacturing unit in 1970. In 1995, 25 years later, we established a low-voltage (LV) cables manufacturing unit. Then, we set up a transmission tower plant in 2008, making us India’s one of the largest integrated manufacturers of power transmission equipment and a turnkey services provider (EPC). Today, we accelerate India’s industrial growth by providing solutions for the entire value chain - from power transmission and distribution (T&D) to a product range that covers a large portion of T&D infrastructure requirements. As one of the leading power cable manufacturers in India , we take pride in our world-class manufacturing facilities and experienced team. Our ability to evolve with emerging technologies has helped us stay ahead of our competitors in the Indian power transmission & distribution sector. Types of Cables: Low-Voltage Cables vs High-Voltage We use the advanced CCV method, combined with German technology, ensuring world-clas...

  In today’s world, electricity powers virtually everything, making the safety and reliability of cables more critical than ever. In environments prone to fire hazards, such as industrial facilities, commercial buildings, and residential areas, ensuring that cables can withstand fire is absolutely essential. This is where fire-resistant cables play a vital role, providing an essential layer of protection against potential disasters. Fire-resistant cables are specially engineered to maintain their integrity and continue functioning during a fire. Unlike standard cables that often fail under high temperatures, fire-resistant cables are built to endure extreme heat and prevent the spread of flames. The primary purpose of these cables is to ensure that critical electrical systems continue operating, such as emergency lighting, alarms, and communication networks, even during a fire. What are Fire-Resistant Cables? Fire-resistant cables are specifically designed to withstand high tempera...

  Transmission Towers carry large amounts of high-voltage current over long distances, connecting power plants to substations. This connection allows one bulk power region of the grid to link to another, ensuring the efficient transmission of electricity. High voltages on power lines require sufficient spacing between each line and surrounding objects, enabling the safe movement of people, vehicles, and other equipment beneath the towers. The live conductors of the towers are supported by insulators, whose length increases with the voltage of the circuit, ensuring safety and reliability. Most tower structures are typically manufactured from steel, although some may also be made of concrete, wood, or ductile iron. Mechanically, a tower's conductors behave like wires, and the sag between support points depends on factors such as temperature and the pre-tensioning of the conductor. The tensile forces exerted by the conductor significantly influence the design of the tower. Transmissi...
