Products Comparison: What are Electrical Wires and Power Cables?
In general, we refer to
Electrical Wires and
Power Cables as
Wire and Cables. Between
wire and cables, there is no precise and fixed conceptual distinction, usually only by daily experience to distinguish. In a narrow sense, divided into
electrical wires and
power cables; in a broad sense, are generally referred to collectively as cable. There is no strict, obvious boundary or distinction between
electrical wires and
power cables.
People will be a small number of cores, product outside diameter, simple structure of the product called
electrical wires; conductor cross-sectional area of the larger (greater than 6 square millimeters) called large wire, conductor cross-sectional area of the smaller (less than or equal to 6 square millimeters) called small wire,
insulated wire is also known as cloth wire.
Although the
electrical wires and
power cables are used for power transmission, but there are still some differences between them, "
Seebest Cable" for the wire and cable in the structure, size, application, material, characteristics and other differences, to introduce you to the difference between the
wire and cables.
1. The Difference in Structure
The difference between power cables and ordinary wires is the larger size of the cable, the structure is complex, the cable is mainly divided into four parts, conductive core, insulation layer, etc., we commonly used cables, most of them are divided by insulation materials.
2.
The Difference in Size
Transmission as well as carrying more energy, in the use of cable, also bear in mind the use of copper cable grounding cable, which will be safer, as no insulating material, the cable is more long-lasting, durable performance, but also less prone to aging, but also are strictly tested products, so it is safer to use.
3. The Difference in Application
Electrical Wires as the transmission of electrical energy information in addition to the wire, but also for the manufacture of motors, electrical components and connecting lines, in addition, there are a variety of insulated wires for special requirements, such as low-voltage wire for automobiles, aviation wire, etc..
Power Cable use a wide range, according to different functions using different cables, there are power cables, shielded cables, signal cables and a series of products, a substantial overhead line is also used to complete the cable.
4. The Difference Between Materials
Electric wire carrying current is used to conduct metal wire, solid, stranded, foil braided and other forms. Insulation state can be divided into two categories: bare wire and insulated wire.
The power cable is one or more insulated conductive core in a closed sheath of good insulation system, the outside can be added to the protective layer, the difference between wire and cable is the smaller size of the wire, the structure is more simple.
5. The Difference in Characteristics
Power Cable and overhead lines compared to the advantages of the cable is that the insulation distance between the lines is small, occupying little space, does not take up too much space, will not be affected by environmental pollution, our personal safety and the surrounding environment interference is small, the cable for modern construction plays a role that can not be ignored.
