What is the difference of control cable and power cable ?
Cables are divided into power cables, control cables, signal cables (communication cables)
Power cables and control cables are common types of outlet cables. Control cables are electrical equipment cables, and power cables are two of the five major categories of cables.
Some customers have questions about the difference between control cables and power cables. Today we have a collection for you.
Application: Power cables are used to transmit and distribute electrical energy. Power cables are used to transmit and distribute electrical energy.
The control cable is specially designed for the centralized control of electrical equipment and various automatic and wire-controlled command control circuit cables! Its control It is said that its role is to transmit control commands specific to the unloaded cable.
Cable type: Power cable is a cable product used for the transmission and distribution of high-power power in the main line of the power system, including various insulated power cables with various voltage levels of 1-500KV and above.
At the same time, the control cable is suitable for PVC insulated PVC sheathed control cables used in industrial and mining enterprises, energy transportation departments, control and protection lines with AC rated voltage below 450/750 volts.
Voltage: Power cables are mainly referred to as cables, above 0.6/1KV. The voltage can be up to 500KV.
The control cable is mainly 450/750V, within 0.6/1kv.
Construction: Control cables are mainly Paris multi-core
Size: Because of different voltages, the specifications of power cables can generally be larger, up to 500 square meters (the range that conventional manufacturers can produce), and then there are generally fewer manufacturers that can do large cross-sections, while the cross-section of control cables is generally smaller, and the maximum is generally not more than 10 square.
Standard :
Power cable standard: IEC 60502-1, GB12706
Control cable standard: GB/T9330-2008, BS5308-1:19, BS5308-2:1986
Color identification:
The color of the insulating core of the control cable is generally black and white, and the low-voltage power cable is generally color-separated.
Appearance: Power cables always have thicker jackets, while control cables have thinner jackets.
The above are the main differences, I hope you have a simple understanding of it. For any cable inquiries, you can contact Hanyang Cables. We will provide the best technical and price support!
