What is the difference between power cable and control cable
What is the difference between power cable and control cable
The power cable is used in the main line of the power system to transmit and distribute large-function electric energy. The control cable directly transmits the electric energy from the distribution point of the power system to the power connection lines of various electric equipment and appliances. The rated voltage of power cable is generally 0.6/1kv and above, and the control cable is mainly 450 / 750V. When power cables and control cables of the same specification are produced, the insulation and sheath thickness of power cables are thicker than that of control cables.
First of all, control cables belong to cables for electrical equipment, and power cables are two of the five categories of cables.
The standard of control cable is 9330 and the standard of power cable is gb12706
The color of the insulated core of the control cable is generally black and printed with white characters, and the low voltage of the power cable is generally color separated. The cross section of the control cable generally does not exceed 10 square meters. The power cable is mainly used to transmit power, and generally has a large cross section.
Due to the reasons mentioned above, the specification of power cable can generally be large, up to 500 square meters (the range that conventional manufacturers can produce), and there are relatively few manufacturers with larger cross-section, while the cross-section of control cable is generally small, and the size of * * * generally does not exceed 10 square meters.
In terms of the number of cable cores, according to the requirements of the power grid, most power cables are generally 5 cores, while the control cables are used to transmit control signals. According to the standard, there are 61 cores, but they can also be produced according to the user's requirements
