Flat Multicore
The APAR Shakti Flat Multicore Cable is a specialized, high-performance solution engineered to meet the demanding requirements of submersible pump motors. Designed to operate flawlessly in the most challenging conditions—from underground and underwater to muddy and wet surfaces—this cable is the lifeline for borewells, sumps, and irrigation systems. With its robust construction and specially formulated insulation, it ensures reliable power and signal transmission where ordinary cables fail. Available in both a durable PVC submersible cable and a high-performance XLPE submersible cable variant, APAR offers a tailored solution to suit every application and environment.
IS: 694 and Other International Specifications
This guarantees that our cables meet rigorous national quality and safety standards for submersible pump motors.
Specially Formulated In-House Compounds
Our unique PVC and XLPE compounds are engineered to be highly resistant to grease, oil, and moisture, ensuring long-term integrity and performance even when fully submerged.
Features & Advantages
The APAR Shakti 3 Core Flat Submersible Pump Cable is a testament to precision manufacturing. It features stranded bare annealed copper conductors that conform to IS: 694, guaranteeing excellent electrical conductivity and minimal power loss.
The flat profile of the cable offers several key advantages for submersible pump applications:
- Reduced Drag: Its streamlined shape minimizes drag when lowering or retrieving the pump, making installation and maintenance easier.
- Space-Efficiency: The flat design allows for efficient use of space in borewells and casings, preventing the cable from getting snagged.
- Abrasion Resistance: The outer sheath is specifically formulated to be highly resistant to abrasion, providing robust protection against the rough surfaces of borewell walls and rocks.
High Operating Life of the Cables
Designed to resist abrasion and mechanical stress, this waterproof submersible cable guarantees an extended lifespan, reducing the need for costly maintenance and replacements.
Increased Flexibility
The conductor’s high flexibility allows for seamless and easy installation, particularly when routing the cable in the tight, constricted spaces of a borewell or well casing.
Maximum Operating Temperature up to 70°C (PVC)
The APAR Shakti cable is built to handle the heat. The PVC variant maintains stability up to 70°C, making it ideal for high-stress environments.
Durability in Submerged Environments
The specially formulated PVC and XLPE insulation compounds ensure that the cables maintain their excellent electrical properties even when continuously submerged in water, providing a reliable and safe connection to your pump motor.

Frequently asked questions
What is the primary difference between the PVC and XLPE variants?
The key difference lies in the insulation material. The PVC submersible cable is a reliable, general-purpose choice, while the XLPE submersible cable is a high-performance alternative with a higher temperature rating (up to 90°C) and superior resistance to abrasion and mechanical damage.
Why is a flat cable better for a submersible pump?
A flat submersible cable is ideal for pumps because its shape allows for easier handling and routing in confined spaces like borewells. It minimizes drag and is less likely to get caught on obstacles compared to round cables, simplifying installation and retrieval.
Is this cable suitable for use in muddy or oily water?
Yes. Both the PVC and XLPE sheaths are made from an in-house formulated compound that is highly resistant to grease, oil, and moisture. This ensures the cable maintains its integrity and insulation properties even in harsh, contaminated water environments.
Is this cable suitable for use in muddy or oily water?
Our cables are available in a wide range of sizes, from 1.5 sq. mm to 50 sq. mm, in a 3-core flat configuration. They are available in standard lengths of 500m and 1000m to accommodate various borewell depths and installation requirements.
