Power cable YC|What does yc represent in wires and cables?

Power cable YC

The full name of YC rubber sleeve cable is heavy universal rubber sleeve flexible cable, Y represents rubber insulation, C represents heavy cable; It is a kind of rubber thread. YC cable is suitable for household appliances, electric tools and various mobile electrical equipment or light mobile electrical equipment with AC rated voltage below 450/750V, or for temporary construction on the construction site, and can withstand large mechanical external forces. The long-term allowable working temperature of wire core shall not exceed 60 ℃.    Y represents rubber insulation, C represents heavy cable. The inner sheath is also rubber insulated, and the conductor is copper wire. Rubber-sheathed cable is divided into heavy cable (yc cable), medium cable (yz cable) and light cable (YQ cable). The insulation layer of good YC cable is made of pure natural rubber, and the conductor is made of oxygen-free copper rod with good conductivity.

YC cable model

YC cable model: YC cables are mainly multi-core cables, commonly used are 2-core, 3-core, 4-core and 5-core, with copper core area ranging from 0.75 to tens of square meters.

Difference between wires and cables

1. Material difference:Electric wire is a conductive metal wire used to transmit current. There are various forms, such as solid cloth, woven cloth or laminated cloth. The difference between wires and cables is that the wire size is generally small and the structure is relatively simple.    2. Different uses:The bare wire is not covered with any insulation or wire protective coating. In addition to being used as a cable for transmitting electric energy and information, it can also be used for manufacturing components and connecting cables of motors and electrical appliances. Cables are used to transmit, distribute electric energy or transmit electric signals.    3. Structural differences:The cable generally has more than two layers of insulation, most of which are multi-core structures, and the length is generally more than 100 meters. Most of the cables are single-layer, single-core, insulated wireless disk and 100-meter roll.
