What are the things needed to be considered before ...

May it be houses, offices or industries, wires and cables are required almost everywhere for electrification. It is the basic necessity of every electrical installation and is a mandatory product to complete the electrical circuit. Therefore, people need to understand the importance of a good quality wire and cable, as the substandard quality can give rise to many risks and threats to them such as accidents that involve electric currents. As wires and cables are conductors of electricity in the house, a person must always ensure every aspect in terms of safety. No matter whether they are using them for residential purposes or for commercial purposes, a wire or cable must be able to perform well in critical situations such as overloading and sudden electrical fluctuations.

Uses of wires and cables

 Power Plant

A power plant is an industrial location which is used for the generation and distribution of electric power in large scale. Here obviously wires and cables are used for conduction of electricity.

Metro

Metro Rail is a mass rapid transport System. It is generally electric and requires only 1/5th energy per passenger km when compared to road based transport systems.

Airport

An airport is an aerodrome field which has the facilities for flights to take off and landing which is a large means of transportation. Airports generally have facilities to store and maintain aircraft, and a control tower for the air traffic control. Here wires and cables are major component as large amount of electricity is used here.

Oil Exploration

Hydrocarbon exploration is generally the search which is done by petroleum geologists and geophysicists for the hydrocarbon deposits beneath the Earth&#;s surface, which are oil as well as natural gas.

Cement Plants

Cement is typically manufactured through a closely controlled chemical combination of calcium, silicon, aluminum, iron and other ingredients. Here large number of power cables are used for functioning of the plant.

Theaters

In homes as well as theatres, there are several kinds of home wiring for lighting as well as power distribution for the permanently installed or ventilation system control.

Quality of conducting material

 There are generally two types of wires which are distinguished according to the material they already up of i.e. copper and aluminum. Copper is the better conductor of electricity and performs better in the case of conducting electricity in a wire. Electrolytic grade copper is considered the best conducting material in the economic terms to manufacture wires because it is highly ductile and has low resistance thereby giving 100% conductivity. While measuring the material conductivity, other factors are also considered i.e. the size of the cables and the type of insulation materials used. In the case of super-high voltage of electric current which are carried for longer distance, Aluminum is preferred as it is more economical than copper. Aluminum less expensive as compared to Copper and hence used in the making of electrical power cables. Using aluminum in manufacturing wires is usually not recommended as it has higher resistance so therefore low conductivity.

Things to consider before buying wires and cables

Insulation

Insulation is the terms which is used for the type of material that insulates the bare conductor making it safe for installation in a house or industry. Flame retardant grade PVC (poly vinyl chloride) should always be used as insulation material in a wire for best results. The cables insulation is usually done by FR PVC & the sheathing is made of FR or non FR grade PVC.

 Flexibility

 Usually nowadays flexible conductor wires are available in the market. Still in some parts, solid conductor wires are also available but one should always use flexible wires as they are easy to lay in conduit and are electrician friendly. Flexible wires also have more number of annealed conductors when compared to solid wires thereby providing more flexibility to wires.

Conclusion

 There are a lot of wire manufacturers and sellers. The wire and cable market nowadays are flooded by various brands of wires from which some of them meet the required standards. Thus it is very important to know the manufacturer and seller who not only manufactures wires as per the required standard but also the wires and cable seller who only sells quality material of organized quality as well as companies.

So a buyer should always consider some of the basic aspects like manufacturer, product as per the required standard needed as well as the seller&#;s creditability.
