In high-voltage cables, insulation reduces the risk of shock and electrocution. In shielded cables, insulation acts a buffer between the conductor and shield. In multiconductor cables, insulation prevents the conductor’s current from coming into contact with other conductors.
The three main insulation materials are Plastic, Rubber, and Fluoropolymer. The following is a list of wire and cable insulation materials with information on the typical uses, advantages, and disadvantages of each option. Insulation for both wires and cables is essentially the same.
Conductor construction for insulated cables and wires.doc created: 25.02.2010 Mechanical, Thermical, Electrical and Chemical Properties of Insulation and Sheath Materials Designations Properties (guide values)
construction and performance of cables that: a) have a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) insulation of rated voltage 300/500 V; b) are intended for electric power and lighting. The types of cable included in this British Standard are: • PVC insulated, PVC sheathed cable 300/500 V, single-core 6181Y, flat-twin 6192Y and 3-core 6193Y (see Table 3);
In portable cord terminology, each letter of the cable type indicates the construction of the cable. For example: S = service, O = oil-resistant jacket, J = junior service (300 volts), W = weather resistant, T = thermoplastic, and OO = oil-resistant insulation and jacket.
kV) and 3 kV (Um = 3,6 kV)1 ScopeThis part of IEC 60502 specifies the construction, dimensions and test requirements of power cables with extruded solid insulation for rated voltages of 1 kV (Um = 1,2 kV) and 3 kV (Um = 3,6 kV) for fixed installations such as distribution ne.
Primarily intended for individuals who design, specify or troubleshoot wire and cable systems, the Anixter Wire and Cable Technical Information Handbook contains information about topics such as: • Basic principles of electricity • Conductor, insulation and jacket materials along with their electrical and mechanical properties • Cable ...
