 KEI has been a pioneer in design and manufacture of high-performance
cables and wires. Its vast portfolio ,apart from EHV cables up to 400
kV. MV (medium voltage) and HT cables also includes control and instru-
mentation cables, rubber cables, thermocouple cables, zero halogen
cables, braided cables, single and multi core flexible cables, housewire
and stainless steel wires. By actively responding to changing customer
demands and expectations, the company has expanded its distribution
network and strengthened existing industrial product vertical.

 Rating Factors
Where the conditions of installation differ from those defined in the current rating tables, the following rating factors may be used for
cables size selection.
Cables Laid Directly in Ground
Ratings for cables installed directly in the ground are based on values of soil temperature and soil thermal resistivity which are generally representative of
conditions in the United Kingdom. Rating factors to take account of variation in ground temperatures are given in Table 2. Where conditions of operation
can be fairly accurately estimated and knowledge of the soil along the route is available, it is possible to determine the ratings more precisely by the use
of the soil thermal resistivity factors, grouping factors, and factors for the depths of laying given in Tables 3 to 6.
