The design logic of Coiled Cable

Coil Cable Design, Manufacturing, Length Calculation and Precautions   1. What is a Coiled Cable ?   A Coiled cable, also known as a retractable coiled cord or spiral cable, is a type of electrical cable that can stretch and retract like a Coils. The prototype of the coil cable is actually a straight cable. The straight cable is wound around a fixed-size jig rod by winding, and the clamps on both sides are used to clamp the wire. Then it is put into the oven and baked for a certain period of time. It is taken out to form a coil cable.   2. Calculating the Real Length of a Coiled Cable     1. Determine the Structure:   Understand the number of coiled sections and straight sections that make up the Coiled cable.     2. Measure the Coil Parameters:     Coil length: we need to be clear the coiled part length, from one pc coiled cable L=350mm   Coil ID : Measure the coiled part OD=15mm this parameter determines the fixture stick’s OD   Coil OD: Measure the coiled part OD=25mm   Cable OD: Measure the cable OD5.0mm   Then we can work out the cable coiled part how many coils. Use the coiled part length/Wire OD 350/5.0=70coils   Counting 1 coil length = πD= 3.14 X (25mm-5.0mm)=62.8mm (‘cause we can’t use the max OD to count the Circumference )   1 coil 62.8mm X 70 coils = 4396mm+the both ends lengths is the one pc cable real length   Note that the measurement method is relatively simple and intuitive but may have some errors. The formula calculation method requires accurate measurement of the structural parameters of the Coiled cable, and the calculated result is only an approximation. In practical calculations, choose the appropriate method based on the specific situation.       4. The...

What Plastics Can Be Used for Wire Insulation and Cable Jacketing ?

What Plastics Can Be Used for Wire Insulation and Cable Jacketing ? Wire insulation and cable jacketing are essential in electrical applications, meaning that the materials used for them are crucial in ensuring the safety, performance, and durability of cables. So, what plastics can be used as insulation and jacketing materials for wires and cables?   Understanding Wire Insulation and Cable Jacketing   Definition of Wire Insulation To make good use of wire insulation, we need to know what it is. Wire insulation is a layer of non-conductive material that surrounds a conductor. It effectively prevents leakage and protects the conductor from external environmental factors, avoiding accidents such as leakage, short circuit, and electric shock caused by contact between the internal conductor and the outside world. Definition of Cable Jacketing Cable jacketing is a protective layer that wraps around multiple insulated wires or cables. They are used to protect internal wires from external environmental damage, such as physical damage, moisture, chemicals, and UV radiation. Wire insulation primarily targets individual wires, while cable jacketing can protect multiple wires or cables   What Materials Are Used for Wire Insulation?   Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) PVC has excellent electrical properties, good flexibility, and can be used in humid environments, making it one of the most commonly used materials for wire insulation. The price of PVC is very advantageous, which is also an important reason for its widespread use.     Cross-linked Polyethylene (XLPE)   XLPE itself is not a plastic, but the PE rubber compound is irradiated after extrusion to cross-link its chemical molecules, making it more temperature-resistant after aging. XLPE has extremely high heat resistance. It can withstand higher temperatures. Cables insulated with XLPE can work in an environment of 90°C for a long time. More famously, it can withstand instantaneous short-circuit temperatures...
