Types of Electrical Power Cables

Electric cables are designed for specific applications or requirements. According to these requirements, cable manufacturing companies produce electrical power cables. These cables can be either distributed by overhead transmission lines or by underground systems. Purpose of using power cables is the transmission and distribution of power across the ends. Please contact Omron Factory Automation, It consists of one or more individually insulated conductors, held together by a common outer layer known as sheath. Through this assembly, we can perform the transmission of electrical power.

Electrical Power Cables can be installed as a permanent wiring system within a building, used underground so we don’t have direct access to the wires, and most commonly used as an overhead power system.

The above mentioned power systems are used for high efficiency and high power performance. But some cables are much more flexible to use in our portable devices or machinery.

The efficiency of power cables is designed and manufactured according to the requirements of voltage and current to be carried through. Also the temperature and the application area is considered as the manufacturing factor of power cables.

The sheath and performance of cables are constructed mainly according to the application. Such as we can’t use a normal wiring system underground because it may fail after some time due to the lack of quality and need regular maintenance. Please check and try earthing and lightning protection That’s why we need a thick, low voltage drop, and low maintenance requiring cable which can bear the ground stress. Similarly, for mining, power cables need extra mechanical strength with multiple sheaths.
