Wire insulation refers to covering the conductor with a layer of insulating material to prevent current leakage and mutual interference between electrical appliances. There are many kinds of wire insulation materials, and the common ones are as follows:
1.PVC insulation: Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a commonly used insulation material. It has good mechanical strength, heat resistance and corrosion resistance, and is also relatively cheap, so it is widely used in low-voltage electrical appliances and cables.
2.PE insulation: Polyethylene (PE) is a softer insulation material than PVC, which has good cold resistance and corrosion resistance and is suitable for electrical appliances and cables in low temperature environment.
3.XLPE insulation: XLPE is a high-performance insulation material with excellent electrical properties and mechanical strength, which is suitable for high-voltage electrical appliances and cables.
4.EPDM insulation: EPR is a rubber material with good electrical insulation and aging resistance, which is suitable for electrical appliances and cables in high temperature environment.
5.XLPE insulation: XLPE is a high-performance insulation material with excellent electrical properties and mechanical strength, which is suitable for high-voltage electrical appliances and cables.
The above are several common wire insulation materials, each of which has its own unique advantages and scope of application. When selecting wire insulation materials, it is necessary to choose according to the actual use environment and requirements to ensure the normal operation and safe use of electrical appliances and cables.
