Logistics and network
Shipping to Sri Lanka.
Consignments for Sri Lanka move Sea from Nhava Sheva or Mundra to Colombo, then road. Typical transit is 4 to 7 days; discharge at Colombo. We quote Ex Factory or FOB Mundra / Nhava Sheva, with payment by LC at sight or advance, USD.
The grid runs at 50 Hz with 400/230 V low-voltage supply and 11 kV and 33 kV distribution; 132 kV and 220 kV transmission. Distribution is operated by Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) and Lanka Electricity Company (LECO), regulated by Public Utilities Commission of Sri Lanka (PUCSL). Import conformity: SLSI consignment-based import inspection scheme for regulated products including cables and conductors; CEB and LECO technical specifications and type approvals.
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.
