Gulf Cable & Electrical Ind. Co

Gulf Cable & Electrical Ind. Co.
INTRODUCTION
Gulf Cable and Electrical Industries Company K.S.C. (Gulf Cable) is the only domestic manufacturer and exporter
of power cables, control cables, telecommunication cables and overhead conductors in Kuwait. We were established
in March 1975 and have been listed on the Kuwait Stock Exchange since 1984. Our manufacturing operations
commenced in 1979.
We embarked upon a massive restoration of our plant & it's facilities during the early 90's when state-of-the-art
machinery and testing equipment were acquired. Thereafter, new machines are recurrently being introduced to
enhance our production capacity and product range. The new machines and equipment have numerous built-in
functions and features assuring precision and consistency of the highest standard.
On a regular basis, we develop new products and enhance our existing ones. At Gulf Cable we pay utmost attention
to product quality, and to ensure this, we have adapted a comprehensive Quality Assurance System that complies
with international standards.
Quality has always been our top priority and meeting customer's expectations has been our prime objective. The
very basis on which we have earned the confidence of our clientele.
At Gulf Cable we follow stringent quality standards which go beyond stipulatations of international specifications,
rendering long term performance and reliability to our products during their service life.
At Gulf Cable we always aim for the best. When most of the cable manufacturers in the region settled for ISO:
9002, we stand out with ISO 9001, which recognizes our ability for Design and Development as well. We are also
acknowledged by the Kuwait Quality Mark issued by the Ministry of Commerce and Industries.

PRODUCT RANGE
We at Gulf Cable always aim for the best. While most of the Cable Manufacturers in Gulf and Middle East region settled for
ISO 9002, we stand out with ISO 9001 which recognizes our ability for Design & Development as well.
As a philosophy, our commitment to customers does not end with a sale. We also offer a host of related services before and
after the sale. These include,
Application engineering service for selection of appropriate product best suiting the end use.
An extensive range of cables, single core wires, flexible cords bare & insulated conductors manufactured to stringent Quality
Standards going beyond international specifications.
Design and Development of products tailored to meet specific requirements of the application.
To help the customers understand the product intricacies and its performance levels.
NOTE 1: THE TABULATIONS ON SUBSEQUENT PAGES FURNISH OVERALL DIMENSIONS, NET & GROSS WEIGHTS AND DRUM
DIMENSIONS. PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE ARE "APPROXIMATE" VALUES. THEY HAVE BEEN FURNISHED FOR GENERAL GUIDELINES
AND INTENDED TO BE USED FOR THUMB RULE ESTIMATIONS/FREIGHT CALCULATIONS.
NOTE 2: VOLTAGE RATING:
TWO DISTINCT SYSTEMS OF VOLTAGE DESIGNATION ARE GENERALLY IN USE. EQUIVALENCE BETWEEN THESE TWO SYSTEMS
BASED ON INSULATION THICKNESS AND MAXIMUM VALUE OF HIGHEST SYSTEM VOLTAGE IS AS TABULATED BELOW:
IEC DESIGNATION
Uo/U (Um)
BS DESIGNATION
Uo/U (Um)
3.6 / 6 (7.2)
KV
3.8 / 6.6 (7.2)
KV
6 / 10 (12)
KV
6.35 / 11 (12)
KV
8.7 / 15 (17.5)

KV
12.7 / 22 (24)
KV
18 / 30 (36)
KV
19 / 33 (36)
KV
Where,
Uo is rated power frequency voltage between conductor and earth or metallic screen, for which the cable is designed.
U is the rated power frequency voltage between conductors, for which the cable is designed.
Um is the maximum value of "highest system voltage" for which the equipment may be used.
FROM ABOVE TABULATION, EQUIVALENT IEC / BS DESIGNATION CAN BE DETERMINED FOR ANY SYSTEM AS APPROPRIATE.
