Power, line cables, and extension cords are cables with the ability to interconnect on one or both ends. The interconnects on these implements are planned to transfer power from a barrier outlet to outer equipment.
Power Cords
Power cords are described as any power cable in which a connector has been placed prior to sale. These categories usually have one connector as well as an unterminated end. Additionally, some may have a plug or a connector, and some have two connectors. Depending on the use, there are different types to fulfill the needs.
Extension Leads
Extension leads are also known as extension cables or extension cords. Extension leads are a length of power cable having one or more sockets at one end and a plug at the other end. The electrical leads permit you to use devices at a much wider distance from the central power socket than the integrated cable within the device. They also successfully extended the length of the power cable. Additionally, extension leads have numerous sockets and can power multiple devices from just one central socket.
Classification of Power Cable
The types of power cables are given below:
The main power cables are accessible with solid or abandoned conductors. It has a diverse number of cores, voltage, and current ratings and also has different types of sheathing materials.
This steel wire armoured cable is a highly fortified power cable. The galvanized steel covering the center cable provides a continuous flow of electricity to the intentional target. Each cable is made of numerous copper cores, accompanied by XLPE insulation around the cores. Then the insulated cores are secured by a layer of PVC bedding, which is secured by steel wire.
Coiled cables are planned to extend to a length that is far beyond their at-rest length. Because of this advantage, they are frequently used when high mobility is a concern, like in old-style wall-mounted telephones. Coil cables are also used for modern purposes, like in headphones.
This type of power cable has numerous domestic, commercial, as well as industrial uses. These lighting cables can be used to wire electricity to ceiling lights or to control lighting in devices with light installations like microwave lamps or oven lights.
Applications of Power, Line Cables, and Extension Cords
- Generally, power cables are used for the distribution of electrical power in commercial, industrial, and domestic wiring systems.
- Additionally, power cables have many more uses, which include mains wiring, lighting, sockets, and connecting to electrical appliances.
- Power cords are almost universally used in all implements or machines that need electricity.
