    Heat shrinkage refers to the property of a polymer material to shrink to its original shape when it is cooled in an expanded state and then heated again.

    The force acting during the contraction of such a material is generated by the stretching of the material as a function of the elastomeric modulus, and the retension force is a function of the crystallinity and a function of thermal contraction.

  • 02

    The researchers found that the retraction force is an increasing function of crosslink density and elongation.

    Retention force has been shown to exhibit properties that are intrinsically independent of crosslink density, but are proportional to crystallinity and inversely proportional to temperature.

Terms of Wire

  • AGING

    A test in which a material is heated to determine the change with the passage of time under a specific temperature condition.

  • AWG

    Abbreviation for American Wire Gage. It is a standard for conductor dimensions generally used in the United States.

  • AWG size

    The diameter of AWG4/0 was set at 0.4600 inch and the diameter of AWG36 was set at 0.0050 inch, and the ratios were allocated between them. Since the calculation method is different from the cross-sectional area, the sizes do not completely match each other.

  • Cut-Through

    As one of the indices indicating the mechanical strength of the electric wire sheath, it refers to the resistance when the sheath is destroyed when a load is applied with a sharp blade in contact with the sheath. Expressed in time or load.

  • LAN(Local Area Network)Cable

    A cable developed for high-speed communication by connecting work units and buildings within a local area network, that is, within a limited area.

  • VSWR

    It is used as a measure to find out the uniformity of the signal at high frequencies as the voltage standing wave ratio. If the line is not uniform, when the electric signal is transmitted as a waveform of voltage and current, a part of it is reflected and overlaps with the transmitted wave to create a waveform called a standing wave. The ratio between the wave loop and wave node of the standing wave voltage is called the standing wave ratio. When this ratio is small, it means that the line is uniform.

  • Flexibility

    As a stranding method that gives flexibility connecting to a conductor, collective and composite strands are generally used.

  • Attenuation

    The power given to the transmitting end of the telephone line is weakened by the circuit and resistance until it reaches the receiving end, which makes it difficult to hear. This call loss is called the attenuation amount, and the ratio between the power given to the transmitting end and the power reaching the receiving end is expressed as 10 times of the common logarithm is called decibel (dB). It is used as a unit of call loss.

  • Nominal cross-sectional area

    The nominal cross-sectional area indicates the thickness of a conductor, and is the rounded off value by appreciating or depreciating a calculated cross-sectional area of the conductor.

  • Resonant frequency

    There are R, G, WL, and WC in the transmission path, and WL and WC have a phase angle of ± value depending on the frequency when a signal is transmitted. However, there is a point where only the RG exists as the phase angle becomes “0” at a certain frequency. This point is called the resonance point, and this frequency is called the resonance frequency. The resonant frequency exists continuously with a period of λ/4./p>

  • Nominal voltage

    It refers to the line-to-line voltage representing the line.

  • Mechanical strength

    Mechanically strong for a wire means that it withstands tensile force or vibration well, does not wear easily against abrasion, and does not break easily even when bent or twisted. The degree of strength of this property is called mechanical strength.

  • Twisted wire

    A conductor formed by twisting two or more strands. It is more flexible and more resistant to bending than a single wire (formed with a single element wire). In addition, even in a twisted wire having the same cross-sectional area, by reducing the element wire diameter and increasing the number of conductors, flexibility and bending strength are enhanced.

  • Withstand voltage

    A constant voltage in a test to check whether it can withstand by applying a specified voltage to the insulator or sheath of the wire.

  • Leakage flux

    Magnetic flux is a generic term for lines of magnetic force. The magnetic flux in magnetism is considered to correspond to the current in electricity. The magnetic flux that does not pass through a predetermined magnetic circuit (also called a magnetic path), in other words, the total number of magnetic force lines leaking from the line is called leakage flux.

  • Multicore

    It refers to a line core made up of two or more strands.

  • Single line

    It refers to a line core made up of only one strand.

    Cross-section

    The cross-sectional area of a conductor, which is a component part for passing an electric current in an electric wire, indicating its size. The larger the value, the thicker the line. The size mark is also used to judge the size of the applicable wire for ㎟, connectors, and terminals.

  • Joined strand

    Stranded wire that two wire cores are joined by twisting them together.

  • Conductivity

    The degree to which a metal conducts electricity is called conductivity. Conductivity represents the conductivity of a metal as the reciprocal of specific resistance, in other words, it is 0.017241Ω for a cross-sectional area of 1mm² and a length of 1m of a standard annealed copper with the electrical resistance of 20°C, and is the ratio between this and the electrical resistance of the metal under the same conditions expressed in percentage. The calculation formula is as follows: Electrical resistance of standard annealed copper (01017241Ω) / Electrical resistance of the metal X100 = Conductivity (%).

  • Conductor

    AThe part for passing an electric current through a wire. The thicker the conductor, the smaller the electrical resistance and the larger the current can flow. The most common material is copper, followed by aluminum.

  • Conductor constitution

    It is an element constituting the conductor and is expressed in pieces/mm. 7/0.18mm means that it consists of 7 conductors of 0.18mm and twisted together to form a conductor. By designing the structure of a conductor such as thinning or braiding, the characteristics such as bending resistance are changed.

  • Conductor outer diameter

    The outer diameter of the conductor part constituted by element wire.

  • Conductor resistance

    Resistance of a conductor. A characteristic that indicates the easiness of an electric current flow. The smaller the number, the better.

  • Concentric strand

    It refers to stranding element wires in a concentric circle.

  • Finished outer diameter

    The diameter when viewed as the cross-section of a wire. Used to determine the size of the wire outlet diameter for such as connector hood and cable clamp.

  • Carrier wave

    Each radio station carries a voice current on radio waves of different frequencies and transmits it to the air. When the receiver's dial is set to the designated frequency of each country, you can hear the broadcast. By applying this principle to the telephone, a number of call currents at the transmission end are loaded and transmitted with high-frequency currents of different frequencies. The waveform of the final call current of which the amplitude of the high-frequency current is changed (this is called modulation) is sent to one circuit (wire) at a time. At the receiver end, each call sent in a different frequency is separated and the high-frequency call is returned to the original call current (referred to as demodulation) and heard. Such a method is called a carrier type, and a high-frequency one carrying a call current is called a carrier wave.

  • Composite stranded wire

    It refers to a re-stranded strand of two or more conductors stranded together or concentrically stranded.

  • Wire core

    It refers to a conductor covered with an insulating material.

  • Outer diameter of wire core

    Diameter when conductor is covered with an insulator (= wire core). Even with the same cross-sectional area and AWG size, the outer diameter of the core varies depending on the thickness of the insulation, so consider it when selecting the applicable wires for connectors and terminals.

  • Number of sets

    Two wire cores are combined and twisted to form a set, counted as one unit. 2 sets (represented as 2P in the catalog) have 4 cores.

  • Wire element

    A single strand of wire that forms a conductor. In other words, each line that makes up the conductor.

  • Sheath

    The part (skin, jacket, sheath) covered over a wire core or braided core for the purpose of protection. Depending on the material used, properties such as heat resistance, oil resistance, and abrasion resistance are determined. Materials such as PVC and rubber are widely used.

  • Sheath thickness

    Thickness of insulated wire core protection cloth.

  • Shield

    As a layer to protect the circuit from external noise, it is common to wrap the circuit (wire core) with metal tape or metal braid (mesh). It needs to be grounded.

  • Core wire

    It refers to the conductor of the wire.

  • Number cores

    The number of cores in the wire, counted as 1 core, 2 cores, etc.

  • Stranded wire

    It refers to a conductor formed by twisting two or more strands of wire.

  • Eddy current

    In general, an eddy current is a current induced in an iron core or conductor by a change in magnetic flux in a generator or transformer. When this current flows through the iron core or conductor, the temperature rises due to the heat caused by the resistance, resulting in power loss. The current loss flowing through the core is called iron loss, while the current loss flowing through the conductor is called copper loss.

  • Sheath

    For the purpose of mechanically reinforcing a cable, it is a metallic covering applied to an appropriate place of the cable, such as a steel coil and a braid of a metal wire.

  • Dielectric loss

    In general, a material with very small dielectric constant that does not conduct electricity well is called a dielectric. The power consumed inside the dielectric when an AC voltage is applied to this dielectric (insulator) is called dielectric loss. Therefore, the insulation material of the high voltage and high frequency wire should be used with low dielectric loss.

  • Dielectric permittivity

    An insulated conductor has a certain amount of capacitance. In the case of using an insulating material as an insulator, insulation increases compared to using air. This rate of increase is called the dielectric permittivity. For reference, the permittivity of air is 1, PE crosslinked PE 2.2~2.4, Butyl rubber 3~4, and vinyl 5~8.

  • Dielectric interference

    If the communication line is close to the high-voltage transmission line, high voltage and current may be induced in the communication circuit, which may interfere with the call. This is called dielectric interference. To prevent dielectric interference, a shielding layer should be formed by using the metal of plus conductor on the surface of the electric wire, thereby blocking electricity from the outside. In the shielding layer, there are various methods such as sheathing the metal, winding the metal tape, and braiding the metal wire horizontally.

  • Ionization

    A charged elementary particle is called an ion. For example, salt is composed of a negatively charged elementary particle called a salt water ion and a positively charged elementary particle called sodium. If there is a gap in the insulation of the electric wire, the insulation near the gap turns into charged elementary particle final ions when electricity is passed through. This phenomenon is called ionization, and when the insulation of the wire becomes ionized in the gap, the insulation is destroyed.

  • Jacketed cable

    In the wire core union of multi-core cables, it refers to a sheathed cable after forming a cylindrical shape by joining the wire cores with hemp, silk, and other suitable materials. Also called interposition type.

  • Electric wire

    An electric wire is a wire for transmitting electricity and is a generic term for spiral wire, insulated wire, cable, cord, etc.

  • Voltage

    The main voltages used in Korea are as follows: 100V, 220V, 400V (or 440V), 600V, 3300V, 6600V, 11KV, 22KV, 33KV, 66KV, 77KV, 110KV, 154KV, 187KV, 220KV, 275KV, 345KV, 500KV.

  • Propagation velocity

    Transmission speed refers to the transmission speed of the pulse signal. It varies depending on the type of insulator. The smaller the dielectric permittivity (ε) of an insulator, the faster the propagation velocity (Vp). If the speed of light is Vc, then Vp/Vc = 1/ε, which is called the rupture reduction rate expressed in [%]. Its meaning indicates how fast the signal is transmitted compared to the speed of light.

  • Electrical characteristics

    Among the various performances that the insulation coating of an electric wire should have, the electrical resistance per unit volume should be large, so the ductility should be high, the dielectric action should be small, the power loss from the transmission end to the receiving end should be small, and it should withstand high voltage well. These properties are collectively referred to as electrical characteristics.

  • Current reduction factor

    The current value of the wire changes with the ambient temperature. It is the factor for the ambient temperature to calculate the current value. By multiplying the current reduction factor by the current value, the allowable current value at the ambient temperature can be obtained.

  • Wire standard specification

    The specification of an electric wire defines the conditions that an electric wire must have by setting standards such as the material, processing method, structure, quality, performance, and test method of the electric wire. There are domestic and foreign specifications, and some are internationally unified. These are established in each country's government office, industries, consumers, organizations, technical research institutes, or international organizations.

  • Transmission characteristics

    When sending signals or voices using electric current or radio waves, it refers to a property that must be equipped with the circuit or device to transmit it most effectively with as little loss as possible, such as crosstalk and difficulty in hearing (attenuation).

  • Insulator

    By covering the conductors, it withstands the operating voltage and performs the mechanics of fixing the position of each conductor.

  • Insulation thickness

    The thickness of the insulation covering a conductor.

  • Dielectric strength

    It refers to how much voltage an insulator can withstand. There are two types of test, one is checking the dielectric breakdown which sees the voltage at which the insulator is destroyed while increasing the voltage (short-time method) the other is the withstand voltage test which checks whether there is an abnormality by applying a constant voltage for a specified period of time (step method). In general, more than twice the operating voltage is set as the withstand voltage condition.

  • Insulation resistance

    A small amount of the current flowing through the conductor is transferred to the inside and surface of the insulator and flows. Insulation resistance represents this flowing state as resistance. If the line is long, the current flowing increases and the insulation resistance decreases. The unit is Ohm (Ω), and the value per km is expressed in ㏁-km.

  • Insulated wire

    Insulated wire refers to a single wire or stranded wire of copper, aluminum, or their alloy completely coated and insulated with an appropriate insulating material.

  • Dielectric behaviour

    The maximum current that does not cause any abnormality when flowing through the circuit breaker for 1 second under a specified condition.

  • Rated current

    Current that can flow through the circuit breaker without exceeding the specified temperature rise at rated voltage and rated frequency

  • Rated voltage

    The maximum operating voltage of the wire determined by the specification. Voltage determined for safe use when wiring. Upper limit of operating voltage that can be imposed on the circuit breaker (RMS value of line-to-line voltage)

  • Rated breaking current

    The limit value of the breaking current that can perform the specified circuit breaker operation under a specified condition

  • Standing wave ratio

    It represents the magnitude of the standing wave generated on the transmission line, and is calculated as the ratio of the maximum value to the minimum value of the standing wave. There are voltage standing wave ratio and current standing wave ratio, and they are called VSWR and CSWR in abbreviation.

  • Capacitance

    An insulated conductor has a storage capacity. This storage capacity is called capacitance, and in the case of signal cables, if the capacitance is large, the signal attenuation is large, causing a signal transmission error. For this reason, the maximum amount of capacitance is stipulated according to the type of cable and must be less than that limit. It is a coefficient indicating the amount of electrical energy that can be stored between two conductors. In the case of communication cables, a large capacitance interferes with call.

  • Holdup time

    The time required for an electrical signal to arrive at an output terminal after being input to a circuit or cable, usually represented by the symbol τ. The unit is [ S/M] and τ = 1/p, which is the reciprocal of the radio velocity.

  • Bunch stranded

    It refers to stranding element wires (thin wires) in a conductor in the same direction.

  • Shielding layer

    A layer for blocking the effects of electric or magnetic fields. In general, conductive materials such as copper or aluminum, or magnetic materials such as iron are used, and this is applied to insulated wire core or fiber core. In the case of only conductive material, the electrostatic shielding layer, and the combination of the conductive material and magnetic material is called an electronic shielding layer.

  • Extra-high voltage

    In the technical standards for electrical equipment, voltage is divided into three types: low voltage, high voltage, and special high voltage. Low voltage is DC 750V or lower, AC 600V or lower, High voltage is DC 750V or higher and 7000V or lower, AC600V or higher and 7000V or lower, and special high voltage is higher than 7000V. , Also, in general, a high voltage of 154KV or higher among special high pressures is called Ultra High Voltage (UHV).

  • Replete cable

    It refers to a sheathed cable that fills in the gaps between the cores of a multi-core cable.

  • Replete core diameter

    It refers to the diameter of a circle passing through the center of the elemental wire of the outermost strand that becomes a concentric strand.

  • Cabtyre sheath

    A strong outer sheath used for cabtyre cable and cabtyre cord.

  • Cable

    A cable is a line that is completely covered and protected with a suitable metal or insulating material on a pair of insulated wires or a combination of two or more pairs of insulated wires.

  • Code

    Among electric wires, it is generally flexible and is mainly used indoors (eg, lead wires for household products). It is a thin wire with a conductor diameter and is used for operating voltage of 300V or lower.

  • Twisted pair (Twisted set)

    It refers to a method or cable that transmits signals by using two twisted sets as a set. Eliminates electronic coupling with other circuits.

  • Characteristic impedance

    It is a basic characteristic of a transmission path and corresponds to electrical resistance. If a device with the same characteristic impedance is not used for connection to a device or connection between cables, a problem of lowering transmission characteristics occurs. The unit is Ohm (Ω).

  • Braided shield

    As one of the shielding methods, it refers to weaving copper wires in a mesh.

  • Skin effect

    Regarding the alternating current flowing through the conductor, as the larger the cross-sectional area, the higher the current density in the conductor surface, the current flows easily. Also, as the frequency increases, the current tends to gather on the surface of the conductor and, as a result, the electrical resistance increases. This is called the skin effect.

  • Pitch

    Twisted length when wire cores, conductors, etc. are combined, usually expressed as a multiple of the core diameter or the outer diameter.

  • Allowable current

    Current value that can flow without any special hindrance to the wire under a given installation condition. It refers to the maximum current that can flow in a wire and is determined based on the maximum temperature for continuous use of a conductor or insulator.

  • Allowable bending radius

    The radius at which a wire can be bent within a range that does not lose its properties. Although the electric wire has some degree of flexibility, be careful not to bend it below this value during installation, as extreme bending will lower the electrical characteristics.

  • Allowable maximum temperature

    The maximum allowable temperature of the insulator when using the wire specified by a specification (when current is passed through it).

  • Cross-wind shielding

    It refers to shielding a copper wire, etc. by winding them in a spiral shape.

Rubber Plastic Cable & Wire Installation Precautions

※ We request that you fully understand the manufacturer's construction method manual and pay special attention to the following items to prevent accidents caused by improper handling or insufficient construction of rubber plastic wires.

  • About drum winding

    When cutting a wire cable and winding it on another drum or bundle, be careful not to set the radius of curvature too small.

  • Be sure to transport by vehicle

    Avoid rolling the drum to a minimum and roll it with a truck. When rolling, be sure to roll it in the direction of the arrow marked on the outside of the drum. Rolling it in the opposite direction will loosen the coiled state of the cable and may cause kink during installation.

  • PVC may crack depending on handling.

    PVC may crack on impact at low temperature. In general, it is necessary to avoid giving the electric wire and cable a strong impact or knocking it on the floor.
    Be especially careful when handling PVC wires in sub-zero weather.

  • Do not apply excessive tension during installation.

    When installing stranded cables, use pulleys, rollers, etc. to avoid applying excessive tension to the wires. The allowable tension for stranded cables is roughly as follows.
    1. When inserting 3C of a single-core cable into 1Hole in a pipeline installation, etc., calculate the number of cores of the cable as 2C.
    2. When stranding wires using wire net, cover the cable with a wire net of 500mm or longer, and bind the tip of the wire net to reduce friction when installing.

  • Removal of obstacles on the laying route

    When laying, completely remove small stones, bumps, concrete formwork and other obstacles.
    Also, be careful as it is easy to cause trauma due to the impact of foreign objects falling at the construction site, footrests, boards, and nails of the formwork.

  • Make the radius of curvature large enough.

    Rubber and plastic wires have a certain degree of flexibility compared to paper and soft-coated cables, but extreme bending may reduce electrical performance.
    Therefore, be careful to fall within the radius of curvature smaller than in the following curvature table.

  • Be sure to do the grounding work.

    When installing a shielded or screened cable, be sure to ground the shielding layer.
    If it is not grounded, the characteristics of the cable cannot be fully utilized and there may be problems in safety.
    In general, both ends are grounded, but in the case of a single core, one end grounding is standard.
    However, if the length of the single cable installation is long, a review is required.

  • In case of connecting insulator (when processing terminal connection)

    Since insulators may crack due to UV deterioration after several months of exposure to air, be sure to use protective tape or heat-shrinkable tube for insulation of a low-voltage cable.

  • Be sure to remove the semi-conductive layer tape during terminal processing and connection.

    In a high voltage cable, black semi-conductive tape or a layer is always wound on each insulator.
    Be sure to remove this when processing terminal and connecting.
    After removing the tape from the rubber cable, the surface should be treated with sand cloth.
    Be sure to clean it thoroughly with a cloth moistened with gasoline.

  • Do not allow water to enter the conductor.

    If moisture enters the conductor of the cable, the life of the cable is significantly reduced.
    Especially, when entering a place where there is water such as an underground pipe or duct, completely waterproof the terminal part.
    Also, if you cut the cable and leave it as it is, immediately waterproof it with self-adhesive tape or PVC cap.

  • Be sure to perform waterproof treatment even for outdoor terminal treatment.

    For outdoor terminal treatment, be sure to use solder or compression terminals for cable terminals and completely waterproof the top with self-adhesive tape.
    When connecting to a core-inserted device, even when connecting to an overhead line, the cable side must be waterproofed using a terminal and a separate insulated wire or bare wire must be connected to the terminal.
    If the connection treatment of the terminal part is poor, rainwater can penetrate into the conductor, shortening the life of the wire significantly, and in the case of overhead wire, breakage due to corrosion may occur.

How to use the wire (representative complaints)

  • In factories that use PVC plasticizers (chemicals, pesticides, etc.), use PE insulated wires.

    PVC or sheath may dissolve in solvents such as plasticizers and cause a short circuit.

  • It is recommended that plastic wires and rubber wires do not come into direct contact with each other.

    Rubber and plasticizer can cause contamination and migration.

  • Do not use plastic tubes to mark numbers on rubber wires. Numbers can be completely erased.

    The sulfur component of the rubber wire discolors the PVC black.

  • In areas with high electric field strength, use wires that have been subjected to blackout and electronic double shielding.

    The signal may malfunction due to electromagnetic or electrostatic induction.

  • Do not lay power and control wires in the same duct or conduit.

    Electromagnetic induction may cause malfunction.

  • In the case of PE PVC sheathed wires, if the ambient temperature rises, the insulator does not dissipate heat from the inside, so it may melt and cause insulation breakdown.

    Do not increase the ambient temperature for a long time. In particular, if a hot air fan is left for a long time to dry the stove or wall, the insulation of the internal wire may be damaged.

  • For wires used in the vicinity of bathroom, heater, drying furnace, etc., use wires with particularly high heat resistance.

  • Heat resistance and flame retardancy have different meanings, so do not confuse them.

    Regarding heat resistance, it is necessary to distinguish between the upper limit that can raise the surface temperature of the conductor and the usable ambient temperature.

  • The heat resistance temperature of polyethylene insulated wire is 75℃, but the flame retardant grade is the lowest.

    Also, paper insulated wire has some heat resistance, but once ignited, its flame retardant rating is also the lowest.

  • When an electric wire absorbs moisture, its insulation resistance drops sharply, which has a fatal effect on the human body. Be sure to completely dry the wire that have been submerged for a long time before use.

  • Do not use the wire which is wound on a drum or reel.

    It may act as an induction coil and cause a fire. It may act as a transformer.

  • Do not wrap concentrically when handling an excess wire.

    Also, if it is used repeatedly in a certain form, electromagnetic induction occurs or reactance resistance increases, which adversely affects use. Or it could cause a fire.

  • Do not use PVC wires (HIV, IV) as an alarm wire.

    PVC is slightly hygroscopic, and when rainwater permeates and immerses for a long period of time, insulation deteriorates, and if there is moisture, it freezes and cracks and may cause a short circuit.

  • Rats, rabbits, ants, etc. may gnaw on the insulation of the electric wire and cause a short circuit accident. If an electric wire is laid on the ground as it is, it must be inspected at a regular interval.

  • Switchboards and distribution boards exposed outdoors become houses of birds and small animals, and if there is an arc, it may lead to a fire, so it must be checked.

  • Do not store gloves, tools, rags, wastepaper, flammable materials, etc. together in a switchboard or distribution box.

    In some cases, accidents occur when mice, birds, kittens, etc. pass through.

  • When connecting a wire to a distribution box or distribution box, if possible, make sure that the wire is connected from the bottom.

    It can also prevent an accident caused by rainwater seeping through the wire in the worst case.

Regarding the storage of wire and D/M

  • It is possible to store D/M products outdoor, but store them in a well-ventilated place without moisture.

    If there is a lot of moisture, there is a possibility that wooden D/M will rot during long-term storage.

  • Store on a flat floor.

    When a wooden D/M without a packaging wood is rolled in the rotational direction, there is a risk of damage to the electric wire.

  • Do not store in the same place with a flammable material.

  • Do not store together with a flammable material.

    Example) Toxic gas (H2S, CS2, NH3), etc.
    In the event of a fire, there is a possibility that the wooden D/M will burn together.

  • It would be much better if the yard is protected from the sun.

    (1) In the case of a naked wire, it is absolutely good to prevent discoloration and corrosion of the conductor when it is stored under a awning.
    (2) The color of the sheath may change during long-term storage. (In particular, there is a high possibility for a colored sheath)

  • The yard must have sufficient space.

    If the D/M is full, it is difficult to handle the D/M. In particular, when the D/M is rolled in the direction of rotation and the end cap of the cable gets caught on the D/M sheet and peel offs, there is a strong possibility that the conductor may get corroded into black.

  • The temperature of the yard should be preferably in the range of -5°C to -30°C.

    If stored at 10℃ or lower for 24 hours or longer and then installed at -10℃ or lower, cracks occur when the sheath gives an impact in the case of a PVC wire.
    If you try to unwind a bundle of product by jumping rope, if the product touches a hard object on the floor, the product may crack due to impact.

  • Since acid rain is falling a lot these days, corrosion of wooden D/M is expected during long-term storage.

    * The standard for acid rain is generally pH = 5.6 or lower.

  • It must be rolled in the direction of rotation.

    If you roll it in the opposite direction and move the storage place here and there, the wire inside will loosen and tangle may occur inside D/M.

  • It should be stored so that foreign substances (dust, particles, threads, cement mixture, cement flooring water, etc.) do not adhere to the sheath of the electric wire.

    If the material stays there until after installation, it prevents the heat dissipation of the electric wire, generating heat in the electric wire and cause a fire when used later.

  • It is convenient to manage if it is stored by item and by use.

    For underwater use, direct burial use, processing, heat-resistance, flame-retardant, mobile use, etc.

  • For temporary use, do not use the wire wound on the drum.

    It acts as an induction coil and generates heat, and there is a risk of fire if used excessively.

  • In the case of a bundled product, if stacked excessively (about 6-7 layers: depending on the weight), the insulation may be pressed and a short circuit may occur when used.

    When stacking, they should be stacked by the same size (cross-sectional area and bundle size) to reduce squashing.

  • After cutting and using the product, be sure to wrap the cut part with vinyl tape to make it waterproof, and check that there are no wounds in the transportation process.

  • If the D/M sheet is damaged, it should be used after reinforcing the D/M sheet.

  • If there is any damage to the wire, there are some that can be used after a complete repair .

    When rolling it, you should look at the condition of the floor in front of you.

  • When rolling a D/M, you must look at the condition of the floor in front of you.

  • When you want to rotate the D/M, it can be easily rotated by supporting an iron rod with a length of about 20cm on one side and rotating it.

  • The reason why it should be handled in the direction of rotation is that when it is rolled in the opposite direction, the wire is loosened and tangled inside and outside.

  • The start opening must be loose so that tangles do not occur inside.

    The cover and fixing device of the start opening must be removed before use.

  • Laying it sideways is an abnormal installation, and there is a high possibility of tangling the wire when going up from the bottom to the top.

  • Pulling the wire in D/M causes the wire to be pushed out from the start opening. The worse the condition of D/M, the more it occurs.

  • AL of ACSR or ASC wire is chemically weak to chemicals such as acid and alkali, so it should be stored so that pesticides or chemical fertilizers in the surrounding area do not come into direct contact.

  • When a wire is stored under a tree and stained by falling wood resin, it should be washed off with a solvent that does not affect the sheath.

    Therefore, it is best to avoid under a tree, especially pine tree, fir tree, cypress tree, peach tree, and chestnut tree.

  • Rubber wires and general plastic wires in product drums that are not packed with packing wood should be stored so that they do not come into contact with each other.

  • Do not store in a place with a lot of toxic gas.

    Ex) H2S, CS2, NH3, CI2, NO3, HCN, HCI, HCNO, SO2, CO, CO2, NO2, CH2, HF, HBr, CHCN, etc.

  • If the product bundles are stacked and exposed to sunlight excessively, migration occurs from PVC sheath to Wrap if it is wrapped with PVC Wrap.

  • If products are stored incorrectly or come into contact each other, there is a possibility that phenomena such as blooming, contamination, migration, and frosting may occur on the surface of the wire.

  • If excessive heat is constantly applied around the wire, the outer sheath looks fine, but especially if the insulator is thin, the insulation may be damaged because the insulator receives heat while the heat is not dissipated.

  • Electric wire and rubber wire should not be in direct contact with each other.

Caution of usage conditions

The usage environment of electric cable is complex and diverse, and there are many optimal varieties and combinations, so here it is only to outline the typical usage conditions and countermeasures.

  • Electrical condition
  • (1) Voltage

    In low voltage circuits below 600V, this is hardly a problem. In neon wires or insulated wires for high voltage, PE or EP rubber with good corona resistance and tracking resistance is often used. Do not simply use a 300V class wire for 600V class.

  • (2) Current

    There are cases where the phenomenon of overheating due to overcurrent or overcrowded wiring is unexpectedly not seen.
    The allowable current of general-purpose electric wire and cable is stipulated in the electric equipment technical standard or extension regulation, and it is necessary to use them within the range.
    However, this also needs to be checked separately because the reduction factor varies depending on the standard usage condition.
    If it is overcrowded or covered with foreign substances, there is always a risk of overheating.

  • Temperature condition
  • (1) A place where you are aware

    Wire and cable need to be used within the temperature range of [Table 1] as the temperature rise due to current is also added.

    Therefore, in high-temperature places, heat-resistant materials such as heat-resistant vinyl silicone rubber and Floride resin are used depending on the temperature.

  • (2) A place with low temperature

    The sheathing material hardens and becomes brittle at low temperature, and cracks or dividedness may occur when subjected to impact or extreme bending.

    In particular, there is a problem with PVC, and in this case, countermeasures such as changing to PE with excellent special cold resistance, etc. are used.

  • Chemicals, Oil
  • As indicated in [Table 1] General Properties of Rubber and Plastic, rubber and plastic materials are affected by various chemicals or oils.
    Also, it is greatly affected by the concentration and temperature of chemicals or oil.
    PE and fluoride resin are relatively good in chemical resistance, but there is no material that can withstand all chemicals, so it is important to choose a material suitable for the environmental condition.
    Also, in many cases, wiring in a place that does not come in direct contact with chemicals is the most effective measure.

  • climate

    Rubber and plastic materials are deteriorated by ultraviolet light or ozone, and are twisted, and cracks easily.

  • (1) Ultraviolet Light

    PE and XLPE are very weak to UV ray, so when you use them outdoors, you have to use them as black ones that can block UV ray on the surface. Alternatively, it is necessary to perform terminal treatment to block ultraviolet ray even at the terminal of a cable using PE other than black as an insulator.

  • (2) Ozone (O3)

    Natural rubber is weak against ozone, so it is not recommended to use it near high voltage equipment.

    Chloroprene rubber has relatively good ozone resistance, so it is hardly a problem for EP rubber or plastic materials.

  • Mobile devices
  • Electric wires used in industrial machinery and mobile devices such as power tools.
    Cables are repeatedly exposed to harsh conditions such as bending, twisting, tension, and vibration.
    In the case of cabtyre cables, their mechanical properties and lifespan are mostly determined by the cable's geometric structure, but the optimal cable structure for each movement is different, so it should be selected according to the purpose.

  • Harm by animals and plants
  • Animal harm to electric wire cable is mainly rodent rats and termites, and plant harm is mainly by philodendron such as arrowroot and wisteria vines. Mainly rodents, such as rats, rabbits, moles, and wild boars, cause a lot of damage.

    To prevent this, measures such as an exterior containing a rust preventive agent, metal tape exterior should be established.

  • Flame retardant
  • In the special places such as basement of large electric equipment in factories, or department stores, the need for cable flame resistance is increasing.

    In these places, it is common to use a flame-retardant cable and a flame-retardant method in combination.

  • Fire-resistance wires and heat-resistance wires are used for fire-fighting equipment according to the construction rules of the Fire Protection Act.

  • Other
  • In order to use the wire and cable correctly, it is necessary to compare and review many factors given.

    Based on this situation, we are in the process of securing better information by arranging data such as data and guides needed for comparison by consumers.

Precautions for use

  • Voltage
  • The operating voltage of the system is allowed up to 10% higher than the rated voltage.

  • In order to use the wire and cable correctly, it is necessary to compare and review many factors given.

    Based on this situation, we are in the process of securing better information by arranging data such as data and guides needed for comparison by consumers.

  • Basic requirements
  • Wires can be safe when used for their intended purpose.

    Unless otherwise specified, insulated wires shall be used only for the transfer of energy.

  • General requirements
  • Wires should only be used in places that match the voltage and current marked on the equipment or machine, or meet a certain operating condition.

    Wires must be installed or protected to avoid any damage or loss.

  • The allowable current shall not be disturbed.
  • The wire structure should be selected according to the allowable current for the permissible temperature on the conductor.

    The heat transfer current of the wire depends on the structure, material characteristics or operating condition.

    In addition, heat build-up in wires, heating pipes (steam pipes, chimneys, etc.), solar radiation, etc., should be considered or avoided.

  • Safe operation condition
  • The steady current in continuous operation is the current that sufficiently reaches the thermal equilibrium of the electric device without any time limit.

    The allowable current of the wire is subject to the continuous condition allowing the conductor temperature.

  • Ambient environmental conditions
  • Ambient conditions are largely divided into temperature, heat loss, and heat radiation.

    What affects the wire is the ambient temperature. The standard for this temperature is always 20°C.

    The operating condition of the electric wire may change depending on the conditions such as the temperature of the room, the duct of the electric wire, and similar heat dissipation coefficient.

  • Precautions when using a wire by fastening it
  • 1) Do not install a wire where the electric wire directly touches in a hot place or in an enclosed place.

    2) Do not bury power lines directly in the ground. However, direct burial wires are excluded.

    3) Fasten wire well. However, considering the weight, the long distance should not be fastened.

    4) When using fasteners, do not damage the wire.

    5) When removing the wire with a hook, it must not damage the wire sheath.

  • When using a flexible wire
  • 1) Use flexible wires only for mobile electrical devices.

    2) When selecting the deciding the length of the wire, a sufficient length should be secured to preserve the equipment in the event of a short circuit.

    3) Wires for mobile electrical equipment should be kept as short as possible.

    4) Pressure, Tension, Abrasion, Torsion, Knicking, Hook, etc. that cause moving stress should be avoided.

    5) Damage due to connection equipment or strain relief should be eliminated.

    6) It must not be placed under carpets or other instruments. Do not cover with rising heat or step that cause mechanical shock, and do not cover with furniture or moving objects.

    7) Wire must not be in direct contact with or sealed with a hot surface.

    8) Do not use two strands tied by a loop.

  • Standard of burial depth
  • Conditions of depth of burial in general

    High voltage cable: 80~120cm

    Low voltage cable: 60~80cm

  • Compatibility
  • Matters to consider when choosing an arrangement of wires

    1) Flexible wires are only only for mobile electrical devices.

    2) Do not leave items causing heat loss or chemical or physical deformation to the wire material or around the wire. For example, structures, decorations, insulating tubes, fixtures, etc.

    3) Materials or connections that will deform the heat flow on the surface of the body should be considered.

  • Stress rating
  • 1) Very Light Stress : Elecric razor, Shavers, Electric Clock

    2) Light Stress : Hair Dryer, Radio Set, Standard Table Lamps

    3) Normal Stress : Small Stove, Toasters, Small Cooker, Spin Dryer

    4) Heavy Stress : Machine on construction site. Inspection Lamp, heating Plate.

    5) Heavy Stress (Multi-Cable)

    Before application, items connected to a mechanical jig, manual mechanical equipment, etc., for example, items connected to the switch board of an automatic device and produced.

  • Thermal deformation
  • The wire arrangement and installation method should be selected in consideration of heat dissipation, and should not be installed near materials with a risk of fire.

    The temperature limit of each conductor is the same as shown in the catalog, and the given value is a value that must not exceed the ambient environmental condition and the increase in internal current heat in combination.

  • Mechanical Stress
  • Any predictable mechanical stress must be reduced by considering the arrangement prior to installation.

  • Allowable current
  • 1) Ambient temperature

    2) The state stacked on wires

    3) Conservation state of overcurrent

    4) State of heat-resistant insulation

    5) Number of wires wound

    6) Using frequency (out of 50Hz or less)

    7) Resonant wavelength variation

  • Bending Load
  • Never damage the insulator or conductor when stripping the sheath.

    The temperature when bending to match the bending radius is 20±10℃.

    At other temperatures, the manufacturer should be consulted, and below the temperature, the manufacturer should be consulted, and direct contact with the bending point should be avoided

  • Pressure Stress
  • Any pressure damaging the wires should be avoided.

  • Torsional Stress
  • Flexible wire is generally not permitted or avoidable twisting.

    In this case, if any twisting cannot be avoided, the configuration and installation of the wire should be consulted by the manufacturer.

  • Installation of electric wires (tracked electric wires)

    C-Track cables must be installed with care. Pay attention to the followings.

  • 1) The arrangement of wires must be capable of being separated in parallel in turn.

    Those with a similar outer diameter should be installed separately in parallel.

  • 2) If the outer diameter of the wire is 10mm (0.394") or less, it should be installed separately.

    Hose can lose its place on the C-Track.

    The cross-section of the hose must be greater than the sum of some degree.

  • 3) Wires must be moved separately.

    The outer diameter of the wire and the inner dimension of the C-Track must have a space margin of less than 10% to be safe.

  • 4) In the absence of tension, the radius of curvature of the wire should be observed.

    In the case that wires are laid in several layers, the wires need sufficient space between each bend.

  • 5) In the C-Track, the arrangement of wires should be investigated not to have any twisting.

    Therefore, the wire must be safely unwound from the reel before installation (do not unravel with a loop).

  • 6) The placement or connection of weights on the C-Track must be balanced.

    The heavy wire should be installed facing the outside of the C-Track, and the smaller ones should be installed inside.

  • 7) All wires must have strain relief installed at the fixed point or the driving point.

    Care should be taken where pressure on large area of the sheath is applied.

    Be careful that the clamped part is pressed against the body and at the same time be careful about replacing the electric wire.

  • 8) A generic C-Track should be used. The allowable radius of curvature must be strictly observed.

  • 9) The cable group in C-Track and installation precautions are DIN VDE 0100 and DIN VDE 0113.
