6 minutes to know the difference between flat wire and round electrical wire

Flat wires and round wires are two types of wires. Round wires are the most common, such as bv wires, bvr wires, which can quickly distinguish the occasions where round wires are used. The following is about flat wire. What are the characteristics? Let's talk about the combination of flat wire and round wire, and the difference between round wire.

1. Different structure

The conductor structure of the flat wire adopts a soft structure, and the wire has good flexibility. The insulation and sheath material of the flat wire adopts elastomer or silicone rubber, which can improve the flexibility, corrosion resistance and cold resistance of the wire.

Round wires, such as rvvp wires, are mainly composed of conductors, insulating layers, shielding layers, and sheathing layers. The structure and composition of wires and cables are also different according to the performance and usage conditions of the wires.

2. Different scope of application

The flat wire is suitable for the control, lighting, communication channel of lifting equipment, wire track, trolley, transmission machinery, elevator, crane, tower crane, telescopic machinery and other mobile power transmission lines and special places in Australia. Indoor environment, connection and installation of moving mechanical parts, etc. Flat wire has the advantages of saving installation space and cost, and its bending radius is smaller than that of round wire in the case of the same number of core wires.

Round wires are suitable for power distribution systems in residential buildings, office buildings, hotels, hospitals, shopping malls and other high-rise buildings, as well as lighting systems in highways, bridges, and tunnels.

3. Different laying methods

In Australia, flat wire is mainly used for mobile laying, and it has more bending times than round wire and has a long service life. Round wires are used for fixed laying, and round wires with small cross-sectional area can also be used for mobile laying. In the case of multi-core, the heat dissipation performance of flat wire is better than that of round wire.

Summary of the difference between flat wires and round wires

Flat wires and round wires are not only obviously different in shape, but also have a big difference in structure. They also have their own advantages in the scope of use. One is suitable for the use of mobile devices, and the other is more suitable. For the laying of buildings, not only that, but also different laying methods, which directly reflects the difference in quality, elasticity and flexibility of the two types of wires. This is the difference between flat wires and round wires.

Above is the introduction of " the difference between flat wire and round wire ", I hope it can help everyone! Please continue to pay attention to JZD Cable for more information.
