Common Mistakes in Cable Selection
-
Incorrect Conductor Size or Voltage Rating:Undersized cables can overheat, causing voltage drops or safety hazards. -
Improper Installation:Excessive bending or compression may damage insulation, leading to short circuits. -
Ignoring Environmental Conditions:Temperature, chemical exposure, and mechanical stress can accelerate aging. -
Using Low-Quality Cables:Cheap options may save costs initially but result in failures, wear, or safety risks. -
Overlooking Certifications:Non-compliance with UL, CE, or TUV standards can lead to regulatory issues.
Proactive Solutions:
- Evaluate environmental conditions, mechanical demands, and electrical requirements.
- Verify certification compliance and ensure cables meet project-specific parameters.
By applying these criteria, engineers can prevent performance mismatches and ensure long-term reliability.
