Underground Feeder Cables are special type of cables designed for direct burial, to be run in a trench, without the use of conduit pipes, used for all kinds of irrigation systems, golf courses & sprinkler systems. These cables are manufactured keeping in mind protection against rainwater & against ingress of small solid foreign bodies.
CONTROL VALVE/BRANCH CIRCUIT CONTROL CABLES
- These Cables are produced from best quality electrolytic copper, drawn, annealed on-line, on automatic machines, to ensure uniform resistance, as per IS:8130 Class 1 & ASTM-B3
- Co-extruded Insulation with special grade PVC Type ‘B’ & generally as per UL Standard 493, for better electrical properties
- Temp. Rating - 10oC ~ 75oC
Online wire drawing with annealing
Co-extruded PVC Insulation, for better Insulation & Electrical properties
Online High Voltage Spark Testing, ensuring no weak spots
Automatic on-line critical diameter control

Temp. changes cause Cables to expand & contract as much as 1% of the length, and High Voltage Power lines create a lot of electromagnetic fields which cause interference & corrupt signals in communication lines. So, it is necessary to take certain precautions when installing these products.
Cables carrying up to 30 volts should be installed at a min. burial depth of 6”. If mechanical equipment’s, such as aerifiers & shovels, are expected to disturb the area, then the cables should be installed at min. depth of 12”. For cable carrying more than 30, and less than 600 volts, the min. burial depth should be 24”
When installing cables in a trench, they must be snaked so that some slack is created. At points along the trench where there are sharp bends, a loop of 12” ~ 24” should be created, to allow shrinkage. When communication cables are in the same trench as power wires, there should be a min.12” separation between them.
Wire splices are weak links of any electrical circuit. It’s important to make proper joints in irrigation systems, as the joints are exposed to wet/damp environments, which can cause corrosion of copper conductor, and premature failure.
