Stay Away From Substandard Cables And Eliminate Potential Safety Hazards

Published by Author: Joey Wan August 29,2023

Wire and cable are the main carriers of power transmission and are widely used in lighting, household appliances, electrical equipment, etc. Their quality directly affects the safety of consumers' lives and properties. Many wires sold on the market are substandard wires, or even inferior wires. These wires present a great safety hazard. Once a problem occurs, it is likely to endanger personal life and property safety.JZD Wire&Cable produce standard product that solar dc 4mm cable、leader solar cable、solar cable 6mm2 h1z2z2-k、wire solar、10 thhn wire、thhn wire 17 awg、2 core 4mm flexible cable、flexible copper cable and so on.

In recent years, more than 60% of electrical fire accidents are related to the aging and short circuit of wires and cables. 70% of them are due to wire and cable quality problems.

Inferior cables have the following potential safety hazards:

1.The conductor resistance exceeds the standard. The wire diameter is too small, that is, the actual cross-sectional area of the wire diameter is smaller than the marked cross-sectional area.    

 

 Hazard: If the resistance of the conductor exceeds the standard, the wires will heat up, soften, and become hot if high-power household appliances such as induction cookers, color TVs, air conditioners, refrigerators, and computers are used for a long time or at high temperatures. at the same time. , leading to major disasters.

 

2.The insulation and sheath are not up to standard.

The insulation layer of wire and cable mainly plays the role of preventing leakage and ensuring safety. If regenerated or replaced rubber or plastic is used as the insulating layer, its tensile strength and elongation at break are difficult to meet the standard requirements.

 

Hazard: The insulation layer does not reach the standard wire and cable, and the insulator is prone to cracking during installation, which exposes the live charge and threatens personal and property safety.

 

3.The production process is not up to standard.

In order to reduce costs, some companies cut corners and materials in production, and easily cut down on manufacturing processes. Their xlpe wires and cables、electric armoured cable、electrical cable flexible、thhn stranded copper wire、pvc solar wire、pv cable etc do not meet the required performance and do not meet the standard requirements at all, such as high temperature resistance, fire prevention, energy saving, and anti-corrosion.

The direct consequence of the product is to reduce the safety of wires and cables and increase the risk of use.
