I often hear people around me refer to all types of wires and cables as cables, and the wires on Connectors are also called wires. In the meantime, the power cables have also been standardized. In fact, Yan Jun said that this is not correct. Cables and wires have many differences in standard planning, usage, and characteristics, so the two should not be confused. 1. The difference of materials Wire Conductive metal wire used to carry electric current, in various forms such as solid, stranded, or foil woven. According to the insulation status, it is divided into two categories: wires and insulated wires. The cable is an insulated wire composed of one or more mutually insulated conductive cores placed in a sealed sheath, and a protective covering can be added outside. The difference between wires and cables It is that the size of the wire is generally smaller and the design is simpler, but sometimes the cable is also classified as a generalized wire. 2. The difference in use Bare wires are wires that do not contain any insulation or protection. In addition to being used as a wire for transmitting electrical energy and information, it can also be used to manufacture components and connecting wires of motors and electrical appliances. One strand uses copper, aluminum, copper alloy, and aluminum alloy. In addition, there are various insulated wires suitable for special needs, such as low-voltage wires for cars, front high-voltage points for cars, motor lead wires, aviation wires, compensation wires, etc. Cables are used for special transmission, distribution of electrical energy or transmission of electrical signals. Cables can be divided into power cables, communication cables and control cables according to their uses. 3. Differences in planning The difference between the Power Cable and the general Wire Harness is mainly that the cable size is larger and the design is more complicated. The cable is mainly composed of the following four parts: the conductive core: made of high conductivity material, the insulating layer: used as the insulation of the cable The material should have high insulation resistance, high breakdown electric field strength. Cables are often classified by insulating material. In addition to the above differences, cables also have distinct advantages. Compared with overhead lines, the advantage of the cable is that the insulation interval between the lines is small, and the floor space is small. It is laid underground and does not occupy the space above the floor. It is not affected by the pollution of the surrounding environment. . Therefore, cables are mostly used in densely populated and densely populated areas and places with heavy traffic congestion. It plays an important role in modernization construction. To put it simply: power cables generally refer to outdoor overhead cables or outdoor overhead bare-wire cables, and wires and cables generally refer to rubber-sheathed cables or temporary power cables.
