The cables are divided into power cables, control wires, signal wires (communication cables)
Power cable and control cable are the common export cable type. Control cables belong to electrical equipment cables, and power cables are two of the five main cable categories.
some customers have questions about the differences between control cable and power cable. Today we collect for everyone.
Application: power cables are used to transmit and distribute electrical power. Los power cables used to transmit and distribute electrical power.
While the control cables are specially designed for centralized control of electrical equipment and a variety of automatic control command control circuit cables and cable!! Its control is said that its function is to transmit dedicated control instructions without charging cable.
Type of cable: Power cables are cable products used to transmit and distribute high-power electrical power on trunk lines of power systems., including various insulated power cables with various voltage levels of 1-500 KV and above.
While the control cable is suitable for industrial companies and mining, energy transport sector, for the exchange of nominal voltage of 450/750 volts below control, protection lines and other occasions used in PVC-insulated PVC-sheathed control cables.
Voltage: power cable mainly refers to the cable above 0.6/1KV. The voltage can be up to 500KV.
While the control cable is mainly made of 450/750 V, within 0,6/1 kv.
Building: control cables are mainly Paris and many cores,
Size: due to voltage difference, power cable specifications can generally be larger, until 500 square feet (conventional manufacturers can produce a range), and then a large part of the general can do relatively few manufacturers, and the section of the control cable is generally smaller, the maximum is generally not more than 10 squares.
standard:
standard power cable: IEC 60502-1, GB12706
Standard control cable: GB/T9330-2008,BS5308-1:19,BS5308-2:1986
color identify:
Control cable insulation core color is generally white printed black, there are low voltage power cables that generally have color separation.
external appearance: the power cable always has a thicker sheath, while the control cable has a thinner jacket.
Above are the main differences, I hope you have a simple knowledge of that. Any cable inquiries can contact ZMS cable. We will offer you our best price and technical support!!
