Wires and cables are one of the most important and widely used equipments that play a significant role in our daily life. Wire and cable are two completely separate concepts, but they are usually confused. Both of them are conductors of electric current, whether aluminum or copper.
The wire is made of a single strand of conductor covered with a layer of insulation, so the wire is a single conductor. While the cable consists of two or more insulated conductors that are twisted together and form the cable.
The main parameters of wire classification:
Voltage level – type of conductor and its structure – type of insulation and coating – type of electrical protection – type of mechanical protection – type of application – number of threads – standard
Types of electrical wires:
