AC Cable
- Definition: Cables designed to transmit electrical energy in the form of alternating current (AC), which periodically reverses direction.
- Applications: Used in power distribution networks, household wiring, and industrial applications.
- Features: Typically insulated to handle varying voltage levels and designed to reduce losses from electromagnetic interference.
DC Cable
- Definition: Cables used for transmitting direct current (DC), where the electric charge flows in a single, constant direction.
- Applications: Found in battery connections, renewable energy systems (e.g., solar panels), and electronic devices.
- Features: Designed for low voltage and low resistance to ensure efficient energy transfer.
Earthing Cable
- Definition: Cables specifically used to connect electrical systems or equipment to the earth to prevent electric shock and ensure safety.
- Applications: Used in buildings, industrial systems, and electrical equipment for grounding purposes.
- Features: Often green or green-yellow in color and made of conductive materials like copper or aluminum for efficient grounding.
LA Cable
- Definition: Cables used in conjunction with lightning arresters to provide a low-resistance path for lightning surges to safely discharge into the ground.
- Applications: Installed in power systems, substations, and tall structures to protect equipment from lightning strikes.
- Features: Highly conductive and durable, designed to handle sudden surges.
Communication Cable
- Definition: Cables used for transmitting data, voice, or video signals between devices or systems.
- Applications: Found in telecommunication networks, computer networks, and broadcasting systems.
- Types: Includes coaxial cables, fiber-optic cables, and twisted pair cables (e.g., Ethernet).
- Features: Designed for minimal signal loss and interference, with variations for specific applications like high-speed internet or long-distance transmission.
