What is the difference in armoured and unarmoured cables?
Cables are two or more wires running side by side and bonded and there is armored and unarmored cable. Armored cables are protected by flexible steel covering while the unarmored cable is only covered by plastic.
How do you cut an armoured cable?
The use of armoured cable is determined by the application that needs an electrical source of voltage. It is a metal sheath cable classification. Armoured cable is used in applications that need mechanical protection usually below a certain elevation. Armoured cable is also usually used on surface wiring. If you have access to an electrical code book there is a whole section on armoured cable. In the CEC the section about armoured cable starts at 12-600 to 12-618.
What is the current carrying capacity of 32 sq mm copper cable?
It depends on the the number of cores, type of insulation, whether armoured or unarmoured, and method of installation. So, there is no simple answer. You must determine the current-carrying capacity from the Tables provided in BS 7671:2008 Requirements for Electrical Installations, or the equivalent used in your country.
What is the difference between armoured unarmoured and flexible cables?
Armored electrical cable contains insulated electrical service wires protected by a flexible steel covering. Unarmored electrical cable has no protective flexible steel covering, its covering is made of plastic.
Define 2XFY in electric cable?
Copper xlpe armoured cable
What is the meaning of YRY cable?
Yry means copper round armoured cable
What are the advantage of using copper wire armoured cable?
The advantage of using armoured cable over rigid conduit systems is the flexibility of the cable. There are some situations where conduit can not be bent into the shade needed to make a proper connection to a device. Because of the flexibility if the armoured cable it can be used instead to make a presentable looking job.
What is SWB armoured cable?
SWB - Steel Wire Braid
Can I see a photograph of armoured cable?
yes, but picture can not be enclosed here
What is the meaning of the 2xfy in cable?
Copper XLPE Armoured Power Cables.
What is bend radius of power cable how can you calculate the bend radius of 3c xlpe 240sqmm armoured cable having diameter of 100mm?
The radius of the curve of the inner edge of the bends shall be at least 6 times the external diameter for armoured cable.
What is the cable size to take a load of 95kw?
It depends on the voltage, which was not specified. Please restate the question, giving the voltage. The reason for this is that cable size is a function of current, not power.AnswerThe size of a cable depends on the material from which the conductor is made, the number of cores, the type of insulation, whether it is armoured or unarmoured, and how it is installed. So, even if you know the relevant voltage, the only way in which you can determine the correct cable size is the use the tables provided in your country's wiring regulations, which take these factors into account. Incidentally, the symbol for 'kilowatt' is kW, not 'kw'.
