The difference between power cable and control cable

The difference between power cable and control cable

Power cables are used in the main line of the power system to transmit and distribute large-scale electrical energy. The rated voltage of the power cable is generally 0.6/1KV and above, and the control cable is mainly 450/750V.

When the power cable and control cable of the same specification are produced, the insulation and sheath thickness of the power cable is thicker than that of the control cable.

(1) Control cables are cables for electrical equipment, and power cables are two of the five categories of cables.

(2) The standard for control cables is 9330, and the standard for power cables is GB12706.

(3) The color of the insulated core of the control cable is generally black and white, and the low voltage of the power cable is generally color-separated.

(4) The cross-section of the control cable is generally not more than 10 square meters, and the power cable is mainly used to transmit electricity, and generally has a large cross-section.
