The terms are used to categorise cable insulation according to its properties, such as its operating temperature, rather than the ingredients from which it is are made.
These terms are now used by the IEE Wiring Regulations to describe insulation formerly described, for example, as 'pvc' (a 'thermoplastic' material) or rubber ( a 'thermosetting' material).

What is the difference between Type AC Cable and Type ACT cable?
ACT has thermoplastic insulated wires. AC is old MC is the modern cable.
What is the difference between in ac and dc powwer cable?
There is no difference in the cables. The only difference is the type of electrical power being transmitted. AC or DC applications use the same wires.
What is the difference between cable and arch?
The primary difference between cable and arch structures lies in their load distribution methods. A cable structure, such as a suspension bridge, relies on tension to support loads, with cables carrying the weight to towers or anchors. In contrast, an arch structure, like a traditional stone arch bridge, uses compression to transfer loads down to its supports, allowing the arch to effectively carry weight through its curved form. This fundamental difference in mechanics influences their design, materials, and applications.
What is capacitive grading?
—By grading of cable meant the distribution of dielectric material such that the difference between the maximum gradient and the minimum is reduced — A cable of the same size could be operated at higher voltages or for the same operating voltage a cable of relatively smaller size could be used
What is the difference between armored cable and flexible metallic conduit?
Armored electrical cable contains insulated electrical service wires protected by a flexible steel covering. Metallic Conduit is a tube or pipe though which we lay electrical cable.(Most commonly lighting cables).
What is the difference between Type AC Cable and Type ACT cable?
ACT has thermoplastic insulated wires. AC is old MC is the modern cable.
What is difference between ACT armored cable and ac armored cable?
Southwire, a manufacturer of this type of cable defines ACT as a multiple conductor thermoplastic insulated cable with steel spiralled interlocking armour. The armour has the appearance of flexible conduit. AC cable is also known as BX cable. Common insulation materials thermoset and thermoplastic as used in AC cable. Type AC cable have different identifiers and insulation type. Type ACTHH has 194 degree (90 degree Celsius) thermoplastic insulation. Type ACTH has 167 degree (75 degree Celsius) thermoplastic insulation. Type AC has thermoset insulation. Type ACHH has 194 degree (90 degree Celsius) thermoset insulation.
