Overhead conductors serve the purpose of transmitting and distributing electricity, and they can be mounted on structures such as transmission towers, wooden poles, and other supporting frameworks.
Litmus manufactures a range of Aluminum Conductor Steel-Reinforced (ACSR) cables, which are high-capacity and high-strength stranded conductors extensively employed in overhead power lines. These ACSR conductors are available in various sizes, ranging from 20 to 500 square millimeters, and designed for voltages spanning from 11 to 400 kilovolts.
Aerial Bunched Cables (ABC), also known as aerial bundled cables, are overhead power lines comprising multiple insulated phase conductors bundled together, often accompanied by a neutral conductor. The company manufactures ABC cables in a range of sizes, from 25 to 150 square millimeters.
XLPE-covered conductors are equipped with water-resistant properties and feature a specialized insulation layer along with ultraviolet protection material. Litmus manufactures a variety of XLPE conductors available in sizes ranging from 55 to 150 square millimeters.
Low-tension power cables are crafted to distribute electricity to residential, commercial, and industrial units. These cables are constructed using high-quality copper and aluminum to ensure excellent conductivity. Available in both single-core and multi-core configurations, they come in sizes ranging from 1.5 to 1000 square millimeters.
Litmus employs advanced German technology to produce high-quality house wiring cables, which include FR, FRLS, concentric, and flexible twin twisted variants in Nepal. These cables, available in sizes ranging from 0.75 to 16 square millimeters, serve the purpose of supplying electricity to homes, offices, and industries.
