What are the Types of Building Wires?

Currently, common PVC-insulated wires still dominate the market, while some new kinds are developed suitable for construction projects. The main building wire types are as the following:

1.Cross-linked polyethylene cable (model: XLPE-insulated wire)

The advantages of cross-linked materials have been widely known, and many countries have applied cross-linking technology to wire field. Cross-linked polyethylene cable is gradually replacing PVC wire as building wire, showing its advantages during use. Cross-linked wire is regarded as a new-type and relatively ideal wire for construction projects among the building wires types, and European countries are vigorously applying it.

2. Eco cable (made by ecological materials and good at fire resistance, also called EM cable)

Technologically, eco cable is a higher-level products of cables, which goes with the stream and follows the growing trend. Eco cable has been widely valued once it came out, and numerous developed countries like European countries, America, Japan have set a series of standards for production and application of this product and vigorously promoted its applications.

(1) The Characteristics of eco cable:

1. halogen-free, noxious gas and corrosive gas won't be produced when it burns;
2. It will produce less smoke when burning;
3. Its flame resistance is as good as polyolefin cable;
4. Free of heavy metal and environmental hormone, thus it won't pollute the soil;
5. It can be recycled.

As one of wire cable companies, we will do our best to meet all the needs of customers.

What is Armoured Electrical Cable and What Are the Differences Between Armoured Electrical Cable and Ordinary Electrical Cable?

The armored core cable, a kind of cable with a layer of metal or other substances (depending on the environment in which the cable is laid), which is the armored layer, can protect the cable from damage by external mechanical forces or chemical gases corrosion etc.

Ⅰ. What is armoured electrical cable?

Xlpe armored cable, pvc armored cable has an extra layer of armor compared with ordinary cables. There are steel tape armor, thin steel wire armor and thick steel wire armor etc. Armored cables are more suitable for direct burial than ordinary cables with a stronger mechanical resistance. The mechanical protection layer can be added to any structure of the cable to increase the mechanical strength of the cable and improve the corrosion resistance. It is designed for areas that are easy to suffer from mechanical damage and extremely susceptible to erosion. It can be laid by any method and is more suitable for direct burial laying in rocky areas.

Ⅱ. The difference between shielded and armoured cable

1. The outermost protective layer of the cable is wrapped with steel tape or steel wire to protect the cable from damage by external mechanical forces; while, there is a cross-linked cable whose outer insulating layer is made of cross-linked polyethylene. Armored XLPE cable can be used, that is, a cable insulated with cross-linked material and protected by an armored outer layer.

2. The armor has a certain degree of resistance to external forces, and it can also prevent cable from rat biting, which eleminates power transmission problems. The bending radius of the armor should be large, and the armor layer can be grounded to protect the cable.

3. Commonly used armor materials include steel tape, steel wire, aluminum tape, aluminum tube, etc., among which the steel tape and steel wire armor layer has high permeability with a good magnetic shielding effect, and can be used for anti-low frequency interference. The layer also allows directly burying without passing through the pipe. For it is inexpensive and good in quality, and is more practically used.

4. The code designation method of armored electrical cable is to add a number after the ordinary cable symbol. The first one: "2" means double steel tape armor; the second one: "2" means PVC sheath. If use polyethylene sheath, just change "2" to "3". For example, YJV stands for ordinary cables, and YJV22 stands for armored electrical cables.

5. The price of armored cables is generally about 12-15% higher than that of ordinary cables.

6. The cable already has good external protection, such as steel pipe protection, or laying in a place with an excellent operating environment. From the perspective of engineering economy, ordinary cables can be used.

As one of the leading cables manufacturers, Jenuincable can offer the following cables:

ABC cable, Xlpe insulated cable, Yy cable, PVC insulated cable, Fire-rated cables, Orange cable, etc. Feel free to contact us.

What Is the Difference Between Flat Cables and Circular Cables?

It is believed that cables are circular, so there is no such thing as a flat cable. But in fact, the application of flat cables in daily life is very universal. People just don't know the existence of them. Now let's take a look at the difference between flat armoured and round armoured cables!

1. The shape and appearance of flat cables and orange circular cables are different

First of all, a flat wire power cable or ribbon cable is a flat wire formed by the combination of many wires. This kind of cable has low cost, light weight, strong toughness, and is easy to use in both large-scale equipment and small equipment. Flat cables have the characteristics of heat radiation, cold resistance, acid and alkali resistance. The most obvious difference between the flat cable and our orange circular cable is in the shape of the two. As the name suggests, the shape of the flat cable is flat, while the shape of the orange circular cable is round. This is the difference in appearance between the two. The internal structure of the two is also different. The cable filaments inside the flat cable are arranged in rows, while the orange circular power cable fixes the cable filaments together to form a circular cable, and its conductor is a solid tightly bundled copper wire. It has the characteristics of polyvinyl chloride (XLPE) insulation. It also has orange sheath, and the rated voltage is 0.6/1kv. These orange circular cables meet the AS/NZS 5000.1 standard and have obtained SAA certificates related to copper and aluminum conductors.

2. The installation and application range of flat cables and orange circular cables are different

Flat cables are suitable for lifting equipment, cable tracks, trolleys, transmission machinery, elevators, cranes, tower cranes, telescopic machinery and other mobile electrical power transmission lines and control, lighting, and communication channels in special places. They can also be used to connect and install mobile mechanical parts in a closed indoor environment. Our company's orange circular cables are currently mainly used in local power distribution systems in Australia and New Zealand.

Now price of round armoured cable and flat armoured cable is reasonable, anything you need, please contact us.
