What is an industrial cable?

Industrial cable just like any other cable is used in general applications in the industry. Applications including power transmission, communication, and signal, instrumentation ad control.

Chapter 2: What are the types of industrial cables?

At SSG, we stock many types of industrial cables. These cables are used in many applications including industrial robotics, power generation, natural gas production, etc.

We can help you choose the best cable for your projects. Just work with us and you won’t be disappointed at all.

Some of the types of industrial cables we have included the following;

Instrumental cable (300 Volt)

We supply instrumental cables to a variety of industries. This type of industrial cables is designed to be used in tough and demanding applications. They can be applied in cable trays, conduits, and ducts.

They can also be used under normal conditions. Our instrumentation cables possess excellent electrical, thermal, and physical properties.

We design them to be able to withstand harsh treatments such as abrasion and contact with flames. They are flame retardant.

This type of cable is to be used in circuits up to 300 volts.

Typical applications include audio, intercom, control, and alarm circuits. It can also be used in free air or raceway in accordance with international cable standards.

We manufacture the cable to the highest standards of excellence and may be used in a series of applications.

The armor is made of aluminum interlocked. The jacket type is polyvinyl Chloride which is yellow in color. The cable is flame retardant, moisture, and sunlight resistant.

It is suitable for a broad range of commercial, industrial, and utility applications. Where reliability is a major concern, maximum performance is demanded and space is limited. It is very easy to install this type of cable. It can be installed in both wet and dry locations.

It can be used in cable trays or approved support in protected areas. It is normally rated at 105 degrees in wet and dry locations.

Chapter 3: What is an industrial cable used for?

Industrial cables can be used to perform different activities in the industry.

You can use an industrial cable to connect two or more devices for electric transfer. They can be used for bulk transmission of alternating and direct current. Also for applications requiring high voltage and low voltage make use of our industrial cable.

These cables can also be used for lighting and power controls in the industry. It can be used in cable trays or approved support in protected areas.

It is used in machine tools, material handling equipment, car body and vehicle assembly, robots, etc.

Chapter 6: What are the precautions for handling industrial cables?

A.C wiring should be carried out with multicore cables. When it is necessary to use multicore cables, they should either be unarmoured or armored.

When multi or single cables are connected in parallel phase they should be of the same type. They should also be of the same equal length.

All cables of the same phase should be alternated with those of the other phase. This should be done to avoid unequal division of the current. In the case of two cables per phase, please confirm with IEC6009-352.

Chapter 7: How do you select an industrial cable?

The following are some of the considerations you should take when selecting industrial cable;

The conductor size– the conductor size of an industrial cable must be sufficient to keep losses sufficiently low. The diameter of the conductor affects the strength of the electric field. This means a solid conductor will have less dielectric stress than a stranded conductor.  If you increase the number of strands it will reduce losses if the current is of high frequency.

The insulation material- the insulation around the conductor might be slightly conductive. This is done to reduce electric stress by creating a larger diameter of the conducting surface. There are many insulating types available with us and their selection depends on factors such as flexibility, frequency, price, and AC or DC voltage.

At higher voltages there here might be a combination of layers of the insulation to manage the stress.

Shielding- industrial cables create a field around the conductor that is influenced by the cable insulation and everything that is in proximity to it. If shielding is used then the field is contained between the conductor and the shield. You can calculate this using the dielectric constant and the thickness of the cable insulation.

Also, use insulation with a low dielectric constant. Also, an industrial cable should have a metallic screening to prevent radiated electromagnet field.

Chapter 8: How to install industrial cables

Installation of industrial cable is a very important practice in industries. Many have the industrial cable but lack someone to install for them.

Are you facing any challenges in installing your industry cable? Worry no more. At SSG we offer installation services to all our customers. We can also offer online tutorials to customers who can’t reach us physically.

At SSG Cable, we ensure that our industrial cables are PVC insulated and have copper conductors installed in every gauge steel. This is essential for the safety of those working in the industries.

We have a license in cable installation hence we assure you no risk of electrical fire from faulty installation. We have a team of licensed, highly trained electricians who can do the installation for you. We also check for any troubleshoot with your industrial cables. Call us today and you won’t be disappointed in the future.

For those who like to install the industrial cable for themselves, below are safe steps to follow when doing so.

1. Design a cabling diagram

You need to design a cabling diagram which shows the location of the breaker box and the path of the cables to each outlet.

1. Install conduits

Start each cable upstairs and pull it through the basement. You need to start by running the longest cables first to avoid wastage of conduits in walls. In this way, you do not use a ladder to push the cable up between the floors.

You should also leave at least one foot of extra cable at each end just in case you need to move things around later.

1. Know outlet count

You need to determine how many outlets and switches will run on one circuit. Normally six outlets per a 110 voltage circuit are advisable

4. Drill cable holes

First, before drilling any hole, you need to know what is on the other side of the wall. This is to avoid drilling through any water pipes or ductwork.

Drill holes of 1 inch bit in the middle of the studs where your cables will travel. The more outlets you have, the safer your industry.

1. Set a breaker

Set your breaker box where you can easily access it in the future. A location in a basement or a utility room is desirable.

1. Pull the cable wires to the outlets

Place the roll of wire next to the breaker box and pull the wire according to your diagram to the outlets for each switch. You can also run the wires straight through the box.

Use a wire stripper to remove the outer plastic coating from the ends of the wire. Attach them according to the instructions we have provided you in the box at each outlet.

1. Install the circuit

Install individual circuits for each wire set. The circuits must match the amperage of the wire and the intended purpose of the outlet.

Follow the above steps of achieving a successful installation process. In case of any challenge in installation don’t hesitate to call us.
