Round Multicore
The APAR Alum Shakti Round Multicore Cable is a technologically advanced solution engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern power distribution. It is a strategic alternative to conventional copper cables, leveraging the benefits of a stranded bare aluminium conductor to deliver a powerful combination of high performance and cost-effectiveness. The cable is insulated and sheathed with a proprietary High-Temperature-Resistant (HR) PVC compound, which provides an extra layer of protection against environmental and operational stress. Designed for exceptional mechanical properties and a high current carrying capacity, this round multicore cable is the ideal choice for industrial, commercial, and utility applications where efficiency and long-term reliability are paramount.

Features & Advantages
The APAR Round Multicore Cable is designed to excel in challenging environments. The low conductor resistance ensures minimal voltage drop over long distances, which translates to a more efficient power supply and reduced energy costs. Its excellent flexibility allows for easy handling and installation, especially in conduits or tight spaces.
Beyond its core functionality, this cable is built for exceptional resilience. It is ozone resistant, which prevents material degradation in environments with high voltage or electrical discharges. Its inherent oil and flame resistance makes it a safer choice for industrial settings where exposure to these hazards is a possibility. With exceptional mechanical properties, the cable can withstand physical stress, ensuring reliable performance in dynamic and demanding installations.
- BIS Certified and IS Standard Compliant: Our cable adheres to relevant Indian Standards, including the conductor requirements of IS 8130 and the sheathing specifications of IS 7098. This compliance, backed by BIS certification (ISI Mark), ensures that the product meets the highest national benchmarks for quality and safety.
- The Cost-Effective Choice: Aluminium is significantly lighter and less expensive than copper. This makes the APAR Round Multicore Cable the ideal solution for large-scale projects, allowing for substantial savings on material costs without compromising on performance. It is the best aluminium vs copper wire solution for industrial needs.
- Purpose-Built Design: While some competitors focus on armored XLPE cables for underground applications, the APAR Round Multicore cable is a highly versatile, HR PVC multicore cable designed for a wide range of above-ground industrial and commercial uses. Its flexibility and resistance to heat, oil, and ozone make it the go-to solution for motor wiring, control panels, and other systems where robust, yet unarmored, protection is required.

Frequently asked questions
Is this cable suitable for use in industrial settings?
Yes. The APAR Round Multicore Cable is specifically designed for industrial use. Its oil and flame resistance, heat resistant properties, and exceptional mechanical strength make it a reliable and safe choice for wiring machinery, control panels, and other equipment on the factory floor.
What is the significance of "Ozone Resistant"?
Ozone is an oxidizing agent that can cause the premature aging and cracking of a cable’s insulation, especially in areas with high electrical activity like near transformers or motors. Being ozone resistant ensures the cable’s long-term integrity and prevents insulation failure in such environments.
Why choose an aluminium conductor over a copper one?
The main advantages of an aluminium conductor are its low cost and light weight. For large-scale projects and long cable runs, a lightweight aluminium multicore cable can significantly reduce both material and installation costs, making it a highly economical and practical choice without sacrificing performance.
