Aberdare serves on a number of SABS and International Electro Technical Commission (IEC) cable working groups. As much as ten years ago, in a move towards facilitating the provision of electricity for all countrywide, Aberdare s designed products with an emphasis on cost efficiency of electrification.to this end, Aberdare created its Electrodac range, which is aimed specifically at facilitating rural electrification by lowering the cost of electricity delivery. More recently, in accordance with Siemens specifications, Aberdare produced an unarmoured cable, with stringent fire characteristics, that was designed to reduce the propagation of fire by cables. This cable is used at Eskom's open-cycle gas turbine generators at Mossel Bay and Atlantis. To cater for international markets, Aberdare introduced fire survival cable with stringent properties that allow continuous operation and circuit integrity for extended periods during a fire. Quality focus Aberdare s is a forerunner in the industry with regard to quality. The manufacturing, quality assurance, testing and research resources of Aberdare are of a world-class standard. In fact, the company was one of the first companies in South Africa to be awarded the South African Bureau of Standards (SABS) Quality Assurance Certification, and has been ISO 9001 compliant for many years. Aberdare s is UL listed and has Basec QA accreditation. Transformation focus Aberdare has embraced the empowerment concept. Today, Izingwe Consortium owns 30% of the company and the company has assisted in the development of a number of black enterprises, such as DRUMCO, the company that makes Aberdare Drums. At Aberdare, education, training and development are seen as a foundation for economic productivity and as crucial tools to build empowered and dedicated employees. In this regard, the company actively promotes and follows a number of education programmes, including adult education, apprentices, trainees, learnerships and formal education assistance. Aberdare s has always been an active supporter and pillar of strength for the communities in which it operates.the company is championing a number of social investment initiatives across our country.the biggest of these investments has been the continuous sponsorship of Sinethemba home for street children in Port Elizabeth. As a proudly South African company, Aberdare participated actively in the development of the ICT charter and the draft DTI BBBEE codes. Aberdare will continue to adopt a proactive approach to effect the transformation that the codes specify and to lead the cable industry in this regard. We enjoy a BBBEE status of Level 3 (AA).

Insulated with PVC and skin coloured in plain colours to SANS 111 Part 2. is manufactured to SANS 17 Part 2. SLIPDAC is the Aberdare Power s trade name for a newly developed range of General Purpose wires with superior low friction characteristics. Installation Information For the wiring of Industrial Buildings, Housing, Control Panels, where SLIPDAC will be easier to pull through conduit, than standard housewire particularly on long and difficult runs.

6 Slipdac Single Core Low Friction General Purpose What are the benefits of this product solution compared to standard housewire? The following benefits are relevant: The pulling force required to pull the product through conduit, is significantly reduced, as the cable-to-conduit and cable to cable friction is lower than on the standard product. The product is neatly and accurately coiled on automatic coilers, which reduces the risk of entanglement. The SLIPDAC coils are sized for placement in a standard SLIPDAC bucket where they may be stored securely after use. Refer PHOTO 3. The heat-shrunk plastic used in the packaging, keeps the coil in a sturdy, compact form until such time as it is used, thus there is a reduced risk of entanglement due to poor handling. The perforated packaging allows for easy access to the wire end on the inside of the coil, without having to disturb the packaging or the body of the coil during use. Refer PHOTO 1. The packaging is perforated on both the top and bottom, thus allowing coils to be stacked for simultaneous extraction of all required colours. A useful tool for this purpose is a bucket, which will hold the stacked coils in place while the wire is being withdrawn. Refer PHOTO 2. ABERDARE CABLES has established a procedure for testing of the pulling force required to pull a sample of cable through a preformed length of standard 20mm SABS conduit. The initial force required to move the cable was measured and recorded for a number of samples of different sizes in the house wire range of colours, for both standard products as well as for SLIPDAC See attached photograph of the SLIPDAC rig used during testing. (The conduit was exchanged for an unused piece from the same batch, at regular intervals). Photo 1: The SLIPDAC coil - Note the perforation marks in the centre part of the coil. Photo 3: The bucket lid is replaced with partially used coils remaining in the bucket for future use. Photo 2: Extraction of 3 or wires simultaneously from coils held 3

32 Armadac PVC PVC SWA PVC (FR) BLK/Red (1,9 / 3,3 kv) d D1 = Diameter over bedding sheath d = Diameter of armour wire D2 = Diameter over outer sheath D1 D2 Description Electrical and physical properties of 3 core PVC insulated PVC bedded SWA PVC sheathed 1,9 / 3,3 kv cables with copper conductors and manufactured to SANS Application Information The cost effectiveness of transferring power over long distances through intermediate step-up step-down systems is desirable for the electrification of industrial and residential installations, including game lodges. Armadac consists of 3 circular stranded plain soft copper conductors, PVC insulated, PVC bedded, Steel Wire Armoured, PVC sheathed, 1,9 / 3,3 kv manufactured to SANS Applications where this cable can typically be used include, amongst others, residential installations, game lodges and general long distance electricity transfer applications at intermediate voltage. Advantages of using an intermediate voltage cable over the conventional 00V 3-phase system offered by the increased voltage of 3,3 kv include the fact that volt drop will be considerably lower and small conductor sizes (mm², mm² or mm²) will suffice for most applications.the Armadac cable is steel wire armoured and provides a robust mechanical protection to the cable, hence it is suitable to be installed underground. Furthermore, Armadac offers additional protection against attack by rodents and other animals as provided by the steel wire armouring. The steel wire armouring can also be utilized as an earth continuity path, therefore eliminating the need for an external earth conductor. Armadac makes use of circular cores which limits electrical stress in the insulation and also incorporates a flame retardant PVC Sheath, which limits the spread of fire.

However, when these cables burn, they give off large quantities of toxic gases and smoke. (FYRGARD ) LHFR (Low Halogen) Blue Stripe cables has specially formulated PVC that reduces the emission of hydrochloric acid during burning of the cables. (LOHAL ) NHLSFR (Non Halogen) White Stripe cables are designed to reduce flame propagation and smoke in those instances where a fire may develop. By replacing the standard PVC with XLPE insulation and EVA bedding and outer sheath, no HCI gases will be liberated during the burning of the cables. (LOTOX )
