Electric Power Cable

Modern power cables such as power cable odm and welding machine cable wire come in many sizes, materials and types, each uniquely suited to its purpose.  Large single insulated conductors are sometimes called power cables in the industry.

The cable consists of three main parts: conductor, insulation layer and protective sheath.  The composition of a single cable varies from application to application.  Structure and materials are determined by three main factors:

Working voltage, determine the thickness of the insulation layer;

Current carrying capacity, determine the cross-section size of the conductor;

Environmental conditions, such as temperature, water, chemical or solar exposure, and mechanical shock, determine the form and composition of the external cable sheath.
