Panasonic cables in India: multicore flexible and submersible cables
Industrisol supplies Panasonic cables in India for panel wiring, machine connections and submersible pumps. The range covers FR PVC insulated multicore flexible cable and 3-core flat submersible cable, both made to IS 694:2010, for buyers in Mumbai and across India.
- Bright annealed copper conductors
- FR PVC insulation with PVC sheath
- 1100 V submersible flat cable
- Quotations by size, cores and length
Panasonic cables for power and pump applications
These Panasonic cables are low-voltage power and control cables rather than automation signal cables. Multicore flexible cable feeds motors, panels and machines where the cable must bend during installation or service. Flat submersible cable carries power down a borewell or into a sump to a submersible pump, where it must stay sound in water for years.
For servo motor power and encoder cables, which are specific to the drive make and model, see Panasonic servo motors or automation cable brands.
Panasonic cable types we supply
Panasonic multicore flexible cable
Made with a highly flexible copper conductor and specially formulated flame-retardant (FR) PVC insulation, finished with a flexible PVC sheath. The higher oxygen index of the insulation helps it resist the spread of flame.
| Standard | IS 694:2010 |
|---|---|
| Conductor | 100% electrolytic grade copper, fully bunched |
| Insulation | FR PVC |
| Sheath | PVC |
| Oxygen index | 30% |
Panasonic 3-core flat submersible cable
Built to power submersible pumps installed deep in borewells and under water in harsh conditions. The cable is tough and flexible, with good moisture, abrasion and weather resistance and stable insulation when submerged. Progressive length marking every metre makes it easy to cut and check lengths on site.
| Working voltage | 1100 V |
|---|---|
| Conductor | Bright annealed 99.97% pure bare copper |
| Core colours | Red, yellow, blue |
| Sheath | Abrasion-resistant PVC, resists grease, oil and water |
| Standard | IS 694:2010; conductor to IS 8130:2013 |
| Drum length | 500 m ± 5% |
Where Panasonic submersible cable is used
Irrigation and borewells
Submersible pumps for farms and plantations.
Drinking water supply
Municipal and housing society pumping.
Mine dewatering
Pumps removing water from pits and quarries.
Sewage and effluent plants
Submersible pumps in sumps and wet wells.
Fountains, pools and aquariums
Underwater pumps in decorative and leisure water.
Offshore and sea water
Drilling rigs and sea water filtration plants.
Choosing the right Panasonic cable size
Size the cable for both current and voltage drop. Long borewell runs often need a larger size than current alone suggests.
| Factor | What to check |
|---|---|
| Load current | Motor full-load current from the nameplate |
| Cable length | Total run from starter to pump or machine |
| Voltage drop | Keep within limits so the motor starts reliably |
| Installation | In water, in conduit, on tray or flexing |
| Cores | 3-core for pumps; multicore for control and power |

What does IS 694:2010 mean on a Panasonic cable?
IS 694:2010 is the Indian Standard for PVC insulated, unarmoured cables for working voltages up to and including 1100 V. A cable made to it meets defined requirements for conductor, insulation thickness, sheath and testing. It is the usual reference for flexible and submersible cables in Indian installations.
Why use flat cable for submersible pumps?
Flat 3-core cable fits more easily alongside the riser pipe in a narrow borewell and is simple to clamp to the pipe. Its sheath is designed to stay sound under water for long periods. Round cable can also be used, but flat cable is the common choice for borewell pumps in India.
How do I choose submersible cable size for a deep borewell?
Start with the pump motor current, then check voltage drop over the full cable length from the starter to the pump. Deep borewells often need a larger conductor than the current rating alone suggests, otherwise the motor may struggle to start. Share the motor kW, voltage and depth and we can suggest a size.
What is FR PVC insulation?
FR stands for flame retardant. FR PVC is formulated so it is harder to ignite and does not readily spread flame, which is measured by its oxygen index. A higher oxygen index means more oxygen is needed to sustain burning. It is a sensible choice for building and panel wiring where fire safety matters.
