I believe that in the minds of many people, they will think that the cables are round, so there is no such thing as a flat cable, but they don’t know the existence of flat cables, and the application of this kind of cable is still very common in life. If you are a buyer and want to purchase flat wires, looking at the difference between flat wires and round wires may help you a lot.
First of all, for the flat electrical cable, the most obvious difference between it and the round cable is that there is a significant difference in the shape of the two. As the name suggests, the shape of the flat cable is flat, while the shape of the original cable is round. This is the difference in appearance between the two.
The second is that the internal structure is definitely different. The internal cable wires are arranged in rows, while for round cables, they are fixed together to form a circular cable. The internal arrangement of the cables is a flat electrical cable. The inner conductor cores are arranged according to uniform and orderly rules, mostly in a line or plum blossom arrangement, and the inner conductor cores of the round cable are multi-stranded.
The third degree of bending is different. When the number of conductor cores is exactly the same, the bending amplitude of the flat cable is larger than that of the round cable.
The fourth bending times, when the number of conductor cores is the same, the bending times of the flat electrical cable is greater than that of the round cable, and the service life is longer.
In the fifth laying, the flat cable cannot be shifted laterally, and laying the flat cable saves time and effort.
The sixth difference in heat dissipation. In the case of the same number of conductor cores, flat electrical cables have an advantage over round cables in terms of heat dissipation. Seventh, it is easier to increase the reinforcing ribs, and it is easier to increase the tensile galvanized steel wire for the flat cable.
On the other hand, there are obvious differences in the application of the two, because the structure of the flat electrical cable is relatively special. When the number of core wires is exactly the same, the bending amplitude of the comment cable is larger than that of the round cable. In some cases where the cable is often bent, the flat cable can be competent to avoid breaking due to frequent bending, so it can be widely used in various mobile electrical equipment, such as various starter equipment elevators Waiting with the tower crane!
Compared with round cable, flat electrical cable production process is more complex, quality requirements are higher, of course, the price is also higher, this part is to help our buyers better understand the internal factors of flat electrical cable price.
All kinds of equipment in the circular cable production workshop should be discharged reasonably according to the technological process required, so that the semi-finished products in each stage can be transferred sequentially. However, flat electrical cable production workshop requires more equipment configuration to consider the different production efficiency and balance the production capacity, and even some equipment may have to be configured with two or more sets to balance the production capacity of the production line.
In the production mode of circular cable with large length continuous superposition combination, some links have the opportunity to correct product quality defects in the production process, but for flat electrical cable, any one link and instantaneous problem will affect the quality of the whole cable. What is more serious is that the more quality defects occur in the inner layer, and do not find timely termination of production, then the greater the loss caused. Because the production of flat electrical cable is different from that of round cable products, sometimes it can be dismantled and reassembled and replaced with another piece; The quality problem of any part or process of the flat cable is almost irreparable and irreparable to the flat cable. The aftermath was very negative, either sawing it short, demoting it, or scrapping the entire flat electrical cable.
The quality management of flat electrical cables must run through the entire production process. The quality management inspection department shall conduct roving inspections of the entire production process, self-inspection of operators, and mutual inspection of upper and lower procedures. This is an important guarantee and means to ensure product quality and improve the economic efficiency of the enterprise.
Flat electrical cable manufacturing uses some special production equipment outside the process characteristics of the industry to adapt to the structure and performance requirements of flat electrical cable products, and to meet the requirements of large-length continuous and high-speed production as much as possible, thus forming a dedicated flat cable manufacturing Equipment series. Such as special extruder series, wire drawing machine series, stranding machine series, wrapping machine series, etc.
What is the flat TPS cable?
Flat TPS electrical cable usually called by the Australia purchaser. The local Australian prefer to use this cable in their daily life.TPS flat electrical cable is 2 & 3 core copper conductors, PVC insulated and sheathed cable and belong to building wiring cable.Benefit from the saving space structure, which usually is used for general wiring, unenclosed, enclosed in conduit, buried direct, or in underground ducts for domestic, commercial and industrial applications were not subject to mechanical damage.JZD Wire&Cable has built deep relationship with our customers from Australia and good news is last year our flat electrical cable also obtained the SAA certification, that strengthen the confidence our customers to us.
This is the difference between a flat cable and a round cable. The difference between the two is very obvious. So in this case, when you need to buy a cable, you must first figure out the difference between the two. Only then can you understand which kind of cable is more suitable for your needs, so you must take a good look at the content mentioned above!
