Logistics and network
Shipping to Rwanda.
Consignments for Rwanda move Sea to Dar es Salaam, then road on the Central Corridor to Kigali, about 1,400 km; or via Mombasa on the Northern Corridor. Typical transit is 12 to 16 days to port, 7 to 10 days road; discharge at Dar es Salaam or Mombasa, then road. We quote Ex Factory or FOB Mundra / Nhava Sheva; CIF Dar es Salaam on request, with payment by LC at sight or advance, USD.
The grid runs at 50 Hz with 400/230 V low-voltage supply and 30 kV distribution as the national standard, with 15 kV in Kigali and Rwamagana; 110 kV and 220 kV transmission. Distribution is operated by Rwanda Energy Group: Energy Utility Corporation (EUCL) and Energy Development Corporation (EDCL), regulated by Rwanda Utilities Regulatory Authority (RURA). Import conformity: Rwanda Standards Board (RSB) import conformity and REG reticulation standards; IEC designs.
ACSR is the workhorse of Indian overhead distribution and transmission. It is also one of the two products that lets us quote a complete line package — tower, conductor, pole and transformer — rather than a part of one.
The table below is the IS 398 (Part 2) basis we manufacture and test against. One caution worth stating plainly: IS 398 Part 5 publishes the same codewords with resistance around 2–3% lower and breaking loads 2–3% higher. Mixing rows from the two parts is the easiest way for a utility QA engineer to catch an error, so we quote Part 2 throughout and say so.
