City Plumbing sells an assortment of electric cables designed to help you get the right product for the job. Electric cables are the essential components that connect electrical devices and transmit electrical power. They consist of one or more electrical conductors, typically made of copper or aluminium, surrounded by insulating layers. These cables are crucial for the distribution of electricity in homes, buildings, and power grids.
Common Types of Electric Cables
- Power Cables: These cables are designed to transmit large amounts of electrical power over long distances. They are typically used in power grids and industrial settings.
- Building Wires: These cables are used for the internal wiring of buildings, such as homes and offices. They are typically smaller in size and come in various types, such as PVC cables and armoured cables.
- Control Cables: These cables are used to transmit control signals for various electrical and electronic devices.
- Communication Cables: These cables are used to transmit data and communication signals. Examples include telephone cables and network cables.
The Key Components of Electric Cables
- Conductor: The central core of the cable, usually made of copper or aluminium, which carries the electrical current.
- Insulation: A layer of insulating material, such as rubber or plastic, that surrounds the conductor to prevent electrical short circuits and protect against electrical shock.
- Sheath: An outer protective layer that shields the cable from moisture, abrasion, and other environmental factors.
