High Temperature Cable
High Voltage Wire and Industrial Cable are all multipurpose cables generally referred to as the Lead Wire and High temperature cables. Just as the name suggests, Lead wire and high temperature cable is a unique type of cable primarily made of lead and designed to serve power even at extremely high temperatures. This cable is a heavy duty cable and thus can be used for installation applications in areas requiring high power voltage supply.
Cables designed for power supply are made differently for different purposes, and also come in different sizes, standards and ratings. When out in the market for a high temperature serving cable am sure you will go for a top quality products. This is because whenever you include a poor quality cable in your electrical wiring projects, it will be costly as it will wear out easily compelling you to replace it. Since Lead wire and high temperature cable are meant to operate in high heat conditions, they are manufactured with adaptive insulation, shielding and jacketing material to enhance their performance. High temperature cables have the following characteristics;
1.Good thermal performance Cables used in industrial areas are intended to ensure good thermal performance and can perform well in cases fires or high temperatures of up to 250 degrees Celsius. However, this is solely dependent on the coatings as well as the insulations applied on the cable. This explains why Lead wire and High temperature cable are a good choice when it comes to serving your steel and glass manufacturing industries as well as power generating firms. Some of this cable have an extrusion of silicone rubber and aramid K-fiber, which is responsible for withstanding heat and abrasion.
2.Resistance to chemical and mechanical damage In an industrial environment there are damaging elements like chemicals, fluids, spills and even abrasive elements that can reduce a cable’s life. For safety of your high temperature cable, it is fitted with a reinforced mica tape, silicone rubber, PFA or an extrusion of Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP) which affirms its performance in harsh environments experiencing high temperatures. This explains why such a cable is normally deployed in extreme temperatures of up to 1000 degrees Celsius e.g. furnaces, wire kilns and ovens.
3.Cut through resistance This simply implies resisting cuts. It is an essential adaptive aspect of high temperature cable that make it resistant to cuttings which may arise as a result of industrial environment activities. Such cables are thoroughly jacketed with an aramid K-fiber material which keep the cable from much exposure.
It is clear that both the insulation and jacketing material can help in determining how and where the power cable is going to serve in a condition where mechanical abuse, chemical, abrasion, heat or flame could be a threat to the power cable. On this post am going to share with you about types of lead wire and high temperature cables offered by Nassau Electrical cable supply.
