Industries use a variety of machines in their infrastructure. There are numerous kinds of equipment, like CNC machines, automatic lathe machines, power press machines, heat shrink termination cable, and video measuring machines. From quality analysis to fabrication, almost every machine in modern industries is dependent on electricity. Industrial wire and cable manufacturers fulfil the link between the electrical grid and the electrical equipment in the industries. At Shree Chanderprabhu Wire Industries, we provide diverse types of cables to meet all the requirements as far as cabling is concerned.
There are many types of industrial wire and cables. From a continuous power supply to special purpose cables used for intermittent power supply, we are going to explore all the major types of cables in this blog.
Types of Wire and Cables
1. Power Cables
Simply put, power cables are those that are used to distribute power from the generation end to the utility end. At the utility end, low voltage power cables are used. These use aluminium or copper as a conductor. XPLE or PVC insulation layers are used in the power cables. In many commercial and industrial buildings, these are given fire safety treatments.
2. Control Cables
Control cables have multi-core conductors in a single cable sheath. These are used for signal transmission or low-voltage power transmission. Industrial applications of control cables include automated machines, data centers and aircraft, medical and process control.
3. Building Wires
Building wires make the network of electrical distribution within a building. Commercial and industrial buildings use insulation feature like fire retardant, low smoke and zero halogen to prevent the spread of fire, suppress it, and ensure the safety of occupants.
4. Rubber Cables
Many industrial surroundings have a high amount of water, dirt and oil in their atmosphere. The rubber cables are resistant to these damaging elements and flexible. Powering tools, generators, mining environments and portable tools use these cables.
5. Flexible Cables
Flexible cables are specially constructed to suit the applications that require frequent movement of cables. Unlike fixed cables, these are moved around the facility for various processes. Robotics, automation, drag chain and vacuum cleaners use flexible cable.
6. Submersible Cables
Submersible cables are used in submersible pumps. Since these are exposed directly to water, the insulation is waterproof and withstands high pressure. Besides submersible pumps, these are also used in well drilling, irrigation systems, and oil and gas extraction.
7. Coaxial Cables
Coaxial cables have a central conductor surrounded by a conductive shield. An insulated layer separates both of them. Used in signal transmission, the coaxial design aims at reducing crosstalk and electromagnetic interference.
8. Welding Cables
Welding cables are used to transfer power to the welding tool from the power supply. These carry high current, which is converted into heat by the welding machine.
Conclusion
Industrial wire and cable manufacturers provide essential support to various industries by making special-purpose cables. From high conductivity to sufficient insulation, these are made with fundamental considerations of safety and performance. With innovation, Shree Chanderprabhu Wire Industries makes these cables for different needs in the industries for their power distribution, signal transmission, and other special requirements.
