Methods to Check the Quality of Coaxial Cables

coaxial cables

Coaxial cable is a cable that consists of a copper conductor, an isolation, a woven net and an outer cover. It can be used for transmission of analog and digital signals, including cable tv, long distance telephony, local area networks of computers, etc.

The quality of the coaxial cable has a major impact on the quality of the signal transmission. The following are ways to check the quality of coaxial cables.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Mineral Insulated Cables

mineral insulated cables

1. The price is relatively high, from 2 a 5 times higher than that of ordinary flame retardant cable.

This is the same cross section, but mineral insulated cable (cable MICC) has a great capacity overload, so if it has the same current carrying capacity, the cross section is reduced and the cost is reduced.

Naturally, it will be reduced, and considering the cost of subsequent replacement and maintenance, in fact, the cost of both is similar, but the initial investment will be relatively large.

But the service life of mineral insulated cable is 50-100 years, BTTZ life is even more than 100 years. Cables typically last more than 20 years.

Why we choose TR-XLPE as insulation of Medium Voltage power cable?

TR XLPE Electrical Cable

Power cable is the longest and most demanded cable product in power transmission, distribution and other essential electrical transfer lines.

Tubular water trees are water trees developed from insulating screens or conductive screens which are water trees from impurities or other defects in the insulation that develop radially towards the insulating screen and the conductive screen.

Electrical cables security and firefighting

electrical power cable

In recent years, A variety of electric cables fireproof, fire resistant and high temperature resistant, have achieved certain results.

These electrical cables do not spontaneously burn, have a certain flame retardant role, in fire they can hold a certain amount of energy, communication time.

But these cables also have a great shortage, since the cable in the fire will emit toxic gases and smoke. affecting vision, etc., in the evacuation and rescue of personnel to buy time and at the same time bring fatal injuries to personnel.

Performance of power cables

electrical cables

Electrical properties of power cables

Electric conductivity — Most products require good electrical conductivity, and individual products require a certain range of resistance..

Performance Electrical isolation — insulation resistance, dielectric coefficient, dielectric loss, electrical resistance characteristics, etc.

transmission characteristics — refers to high frequency transmission characteristics, anti-interference characteristics, etc.

Post Insulators and Suspension Insulators

Post Insulators

insulating post: is a special cable insulation control, an electrical material, which can play an important role in the overhead cables of transmission.

In the first days, post insulators were used primarily for electrical poles.

They gradually developed from the end of high-type high-voltage electrical cable connection towers with many suspended insulators., which were usually made of silica gel or ceramic to increase creepage distance. They are called insulators..

The Difference Between DC Cable and AC Cable

DC Fits

In the case of DC cables and AC cables, the easiest way to tell them apart is by their application. DC cables are power cables used in DC transmission and distribution systems (direct current). AC wires, for his part, are used for AC (alternating current) feeding systems.

The structure of DC cable is basically the same as that of AC cable except that the electrical performance characteristics are different from those of AC..
