In this article from Arian Abhar wire and cable, we have explained about PVC coated cable. Stay with us.
Types of cables with PVC coating and their use
The variety of power cables available in the market is very large. When you are planning to start a wiring project or have a limited use of cables, you should use the most practical type of cable. PVC or polyvinyl chloride is a very useful and valuable polymer that is produced in the petrochemical industry. This substance plays an important role in the production of many consumer goods in our lives; PVC coated cable is one of the various types of products that are made of this material. In the following, you will get to know more about these types of cables and their uses.
PVC is a very resistant insulator, the use of which in PVC coated cable has increased the strength and resistance of this cable against natural and unnatural factors. High temperature is one of the main reasons for reducing the useful life of cables and causing accidents such as fire. The use of PVC cover prevents such incidents. All the positive features of the PVC-coated cable, along with the reasonable and affordable price, have made it widely used in household and industrial electrical devices.
Applications of PVC sheathed cable
One of the main reasons for the popularity of PVC coated cables is the possibility of using them in various spaces and devices. From different models of electric cables with PVC cover in closed space, open space, buried in soil, in water, in electricity distribution and consumption centers, in power plants, in industrial units, in cable channels and even inside Water can be used.
High resistance to heat, banana animals, decay caused by humidity and industrial oils can be considered as the main reasons for the use of PVC coated cable. There are various types of PVC-coated electrical cables, which you will learn about below.
Two examples of PVC coated cables and their applications
PVC is used only as a covering of cables. The type of conductor, the number and type of strands and other characteristics of an electric cable make them suitable for use in various devices or projects. We examine two examples of utility cables that are made of PVC coating.

Single-core spraying cable with insulation and PVC coating
In Afshan cables, instead of using a uniform and thick conductor, a large number of conductors (usually copper) are used, which are highly flexible and have a wide variety of applications. In many electrical appliances in your home, such as vacuum cleaners, microwaves, refrigerators, TVs, etc., this type of cable with PVC coating is used.
Single-stranded cables with insulation and PVC coating are mostly designed and produced for short distances; Also, in addition to the above, it is possible and common to use them in residential buildings, passages, equipment and machinery, and signs.
Normally, copper conductor is used in single-stranded spraying cable with PVC coating, which has a reasonable price and high conductivity. This cable has the ability to withstand the maximum temperature of 70 degrees Celsius, and in normal conditions, the possibility of burning or catching fire is very low.
Light spraying cables with insulation and PVC coating
In this type of cables, several strands of conductors are used to conduct electricity. Each conductor (usually copper) consists of several strands of wire that are twisted together. These types of cables are used in small household electrical devices. This type of cable with PVC cover is not suitable for use in industrial devices and environments where there are mechanical risks.
Light spraying cables with insulation and PVC coating are designed for the temperature range between -30 and +70 degrees Celsius and have an acceptable thermal resistance.
Is PVC sheathed cable the right choice?
Undoubtedly, cables equipped with PVC coating are among the most resistant products available in the market; In addition, the production of PVC insulation is more economical than the old common coatings such as oil coating. Only by choosing the right PVC-coated cable for your field of activity, you will benefit from its many benefits. Arin Abhar Wire and Cable Industry Complex is one of the successful suppliers of this type of cables in Iran.
