The Rubber Cable Are Suitable for Use in What Environmental Conditions

Different types of wires and cables have different sheath thicknesses, such as rubber cables. Mainly used in wear-resistant and cold-resistant places. And the insulating sheath is thicker. In general, the higher the voltage rating, the thicker the sheath. The thickness of cables used for low-voltage electrical equipment generally does not mainly consider electrical properties, but mainly consider mechanical properties.

I heard that the old electrician introduced that rubber cables are generally used in electrical equipment, but can also be used indoors in outdoor environmental conditions.

The use characteristics of rubber cables

Rubber cables are mainly suitable for the connection of light mobile appliances (household appliances, power tools, etc.), instruments and power lighting. The working voltage is between 450 and 750V AC, most of them are AC voltage, they are 300V respectively. Because the product needs to be moved, bent, twisted, etc., The wire is required to be soft and stable in structure. Then it has some wear resistance. Plastic sheathed cables can be laid directly in the soil.

When connecting with relatively hot electrical equipment, it is better to use rubber insulated cables as appropriate.

Structural characteristics of rubber cables

The conductive wire core is a copper core, and the structure is a flexible wire type, which is a flexible wire conductor formed by twisting a plurality of single wire bundles. Insulation materials generally use natural styrene-butadiene rubber, polyvinyl chloride or soft polyethylene plastics. Cable pitch multiples are smaller.

The outermost sheath of the rubber cable is made of CR rubber material to avoid overheating and scalding of the insulating layer. In order to be more durable, the production process is simplified among cable manufacturers, and almost all conventional wire gauges adopt a three-core structure, which can save production time and improve production efficiency.

The features of rubber cables

Different from conventional products, the speciality of rubber sheathed cables is that different products need to be designed according to different customer requirements and application environments.

Rubber cables, with rubber insulating material as the insulating layer and sheath layer, are easier to recycle and do not produce toxic gases when burned. It is in line with the concept of environmental protection cables advocated by the current state and is the future development direction of the wire and cable industry.
