Difference Between Water-cooled cable, Special Cable and Ordinary Cable

What is the Difference Between Water-cooled Cable, Special Cable and Ordinary Cable?

Water-cooled cable consists of a cooling water pipe in the center, a conductor around it, a rubber tube outside the conductor, and the outside of the rubber tube. From the inside to the outside, they are cylindrical, layered, heat-insulating, and metal jacket layers. The utility model has many advantages of ordinary water-cooled cables.

The Common Use of Special Cables

Special cables are different from ordinary cables. Special cables can be used in special occasions, and their functions are also special, such as high temperature resistance, strong acid and alkali resistance, and termite resistance.

Among them, high temperature resistant wires and cables are mainly used in energy development, steel, aerospace, oil mining, and metal smelting. Low inductance cables have good heat dissipation effects, not only large cooling water flow, but also no blockage and current limiting.

Low noise cables are mainly used in fields such as medicine, industry, and national defense that require small signal measurement, and can detect bass. There are also functional wires and cables and new green environmentally friendly cables.

There will be more types of special cables in the next few years, and their role in social development and progress will become more and more important.

What is a Water-Cooled Cable?

The water-cooled cable consists of a cooling water pipe in the center, a conductor around it, a rubber tube outside the conductor, and the outside of the rubber tube. From the inside to the outside, there are layers, insulation layers, and metal jacket layers that are integrally cylindrical and nested one after another.

In addition to the many advantages of ordinary water-cooled cables, the utility model has changed the disadvantage of the existing technology of exposing the outer rubber tube. The metal corrugated tube jacket is not afraid of sparks, will not age, will not be electrified during operation, has good insulation effect, and has a long service life.

It is a novel power supply cable used in electric furnaces and arc furnaces in the metallurgical industry, and it is also an ideal water-cooled power supply cable for ferroalloy electric furnaces.

Ordinary Cable

Ordinary cable (wires & Cabels)  refer to materials used for power, communications and related transmission purposes. There is no strict boundary between "wires" and "cables".

Products with a small number of cores, small product diameter and simple structure are usually called wires, those without insulation are called bare wires, and the others are called cables; those with larger conductor cross-sectional areas (greater than 6 square millimeters) are called large wires, those with smaller conductor cross-sectional areas (less than or equal to 6 square millimeters) are called small wires, and insulated wires are also called cloth wires.

Wires and cables mainly include bare wires, electromagnetic wires, insulated wires for motors and electrical appliances, power cables, communication cables and optical cables.
