What Are The Factors To Consider When Selecting A Wire?

As there are various factors to be consider when choosing an electrical wire and cable but the most important factors to take into account are the electrical requirements of our application.

Choosing an appropriate wire

Below are the electrical requirements to be consider necessary when choosing an appropriate wire.

1. Inductance

It the property of the wires that persuades an electromotive force when the number of current changes. It sources the voltage to lag behind

2. Current carrying capacity

This refers to the computation of the amount of current a wire can bring. The current carrying capacity of a wire is directly proportional to its size, larger the wire, the more current it can bring.

3. Resistance

The electrical resistance of a wire is the measure of exertion it faces in passing an alternating current through it when voltage is applied. There should be little to know.

4. Velocity

Velocity denotes to the speed at which a signal travels through the length of a wire comparison to its speed in free air. The lower the velocity of propagation the longer the delay, thus choose the wire of high VP percentage.

5. Voltage

Voltage is the measurement of electrical pressure along the conductor wire. Thicker the insulation higher the voltage rating

By following these important factors of wire will help you the high performance and durable wire
