Some Interesting Facts About Cables That Every Manufacturer Should Know

Cables are an important component in the electrical industry today. No matter how big or small the company is, the quality of efficiency provided by them is determined by the manufacturing intricacies that are taken care of. The higher the efficiency taken, the refinement of manufacturing level is equally high.
However, now that we know how important it is to check for the minutest details, let’s have a look at the best and the most interesting facts about cables that as a manufacturer, you should know it really well:
 

Copper Is Better

Now, this is a rare fact but a true one, for sure. When it comes to knowing which metal is a better conductor - there are very few cable manufacturers who know that copper is a better conductor than aluminium.  There are various different types of cables that are made available in the market today. The choice of a specific cable type has to be used for some specific purposes, is based on different factors and the most important of them is the technical specifications of the involved functions.
 

Instability Is Inevitable

The misconception that cable current capacity is generally stable, is one of the major ones to be talked about. It is because, the truth is, that the cable current capacity changes almost every moment and doesn’t remain stable during the life of the cables. These changes are generally caused by major factors like the prevailing ground or existing air temperature, the actual way in which the laying had been executed and the depth at which they have been laid.
 

New Don’t Last Long

The newly installed cables do not really last long, no matter how good the installation. There are many reasons to it, like there exist many manufacturers of electric cables today and it’s unlikely that all of them installed would actually last for a specified period of time. Also, there are too many types of cables and each of them have their own set of characteristics that define their capacity, durability and usage.
 

Cable Armor Isn’t An Insulator

It is commonly known that the inclusion of armor in the cables helps the enabling of them in the areas that are moist. However, it should be noted that cable armors aren’t supposed to protect them from water and therefore, exposing the cables openly to water will only lead to the destruction of the armors.
 

Thus, lastly, the final fact to consider, is the electrical safety. Unless there is due diligence taken in the installation of wires and cables, it is recommended that experts deal with them. Maintaining a certain level of precautionary safety is important. It is a need that helps in avoiding harmful accidents and mishaps that may occur just out of carelessness. Hence, with the above facts that every wire and cable manufacturer should pay heed to, it will not only lead to qualitative production but will also help in increasing the productivity of this industry and the nation, as a whole.

Switch to modular with Modular Switches

Image
  Electrical appliances have become a necessary part of our lives. Our daily household activities and needs require them for almost everything. But what is it that gives these appliances a kick start? A switch. The first thing we search for in order to get the benefits out of any   electrical equipment   is a switch and our hands automatically reach out in search of them. Just like electrical appliances, the switches are also as essential to make a home. And now these switches have gone modular. Modular switches  have been in the market for quite a while now and around this time everyone is chasing them over the conventional designs. Not only is it that the new projects make use of them but the old residential and industrial domains are also changing their switches to modular. Modular switches  are not aesthetically appealing but also come with great inventions of technology which give the users a safe and protected output. These are available in a number of sizes, designs, material, c

Myths about Smart Meters That Electrical Accessories Manufacturers Avoid

Image
  The recent world development has changed the way people think about smart meters and its uses. Earlier, a smart meter used to be just a mere electronic device recording electric energy consumption, current, and voltage levels. Now, these devices have undergone significant changes concerning their designs and additional features. Smart meters can communicate information to consumers for great clarity of the behaviour of consumption as well as electricity suppliers for customer billing and system monitoring. However, there are some myths that the  Electrical accessories manufacturers  avoid to give a greater experience. Myth 1: Traditional Energy Grid is Absolutely Fine The network gets designed for the purpose of simpler times. And now the need for more energy has been a thing to wonder. In fact, the rate of energy spent has increased at an intense pace. The evidence of the climate change indicates a shift in the greener sources and it is of paramount importance. The smart meters are

HPL India - MCB's

Image
  We hear about fires caused due to electrical failures almost every day. One of the prime reasons for such accidents is the faulty and outdated wiring that can barely handle the load of the new and increased amount of electrical appliances. But it is fairly challenging to upgrade the entire wiring system of an old establishment. In order to prevent such electrical fires circuit breakers must be installed which can help us reduce the number of such incidents. A miniature circuit breaker or MCB is a popular category of circuit breakers which is widely used for average homes. In India, the need for installing these circuit breakers is more than ever. As the rural and semi-urban areas of the subcontinent witness the expansion of the electric grid, the number of mishappenings caused by overloads and faulty wirings also tend to rise. MCB is nowadays prefered over a traditional fuse in almost all the modern circuits because MCBs are more sensitive to an overburden of an electrical current. A
