What is a cloth wire?
Cloth wires, also known as insulated wires, are the most commonly used soft and hard wires in home decoration, such as BV, BVR, RYJ, RVS, which belong to the category of household cloth wires. Electric wires are divided into electromagnetic wires and general insulated wires according to their purpose, and insulated wires are also known as cloth wires. Insulated wire (cloth wire) refers to the wire that covers the insulation layer, including various connecting wires and installation wires. The wire laying products of Guda Cable are suitable for power devices, fixed wiring, and flexible connection appliances with rated voltages of 450/750V and below. Flame retardant, fire-resistant, halogen-free low smoke flame retardant, armored and other cables meet the corresponding performance requirements for flame retardant, fire-resistant, halogen-free low smoke flame retardant, etc
The purpose of wiring
The use range of cloth wires is quite extensive, which can be used for various household appliances such as street light wires, fire protection wires, home decoration wires, etc., such as washing machines, electric water heaters, fixed sockets, central air conditioning, microwave ovens, and so on.
Although cloth wires can be used for many household appliances, not every specification can be suitable for these appliances. Some high-power household appliances should be matched with larger cloth wires, otherwise it may cause short circuits or heat generation; The commonly used specifications include 1.5 square meters, 2.5 square meters, 4 square meters, 6 square meters, 10 square meters, and 16 square meters. The larger ones include 25 square meters, 35 square meters, 50 square meters, 70 square meters, etc., which are relatively less used for home decoration.
Common wire models and specifications
BVR: Copper core polyethylene insulated flexible cable, also known as flexible cable or secondary wire.
RVS: copper core polyethylene insulated layer stranded connection flexible cable, also known as Class V twisted pair, flexible cable, fire Security thread.
RVB/RVVB: Copper core polyethylene insulation layer without protective wire sheath/flat copper wire with protective wire sheath, also known as red black strip or black red (parallel plane) wire.
RV/BV: Copper core polyethylene insulated single core soft/hard cable, also known as single cable or cloth wire.
RYJ/BYJ: Copper core polyolefin insulation layer environmental protection soft/hard cloth wire, also known as high-density polyethylene cable, environmental protection cable, cloth wire.
The main uses of wires with different specifications
1. 1.5mm ² Electric wires are generally used for basic lighting fixtures in households, which is more basic. Some cable strips can be inserted, and some small electrical products can all use 1.5mm ² Electric wires.
2. 2.5mm ² The wires are relatively larger, and now copper core wires make up the majority. Naturally, the old cables may be aluminum cables, but if they are new copper core wires, 2.5mm ² It can drive most basic electrical products, such as rice cookers and electromagnetic stoves, to be adopted.
3. 4mm ² Wires are used more frequently, such as air conditioners, household water heaters, bathroom light heaters, and household Dedicated outdoor air system. These are all high-power household appliances, which must use 4mm ² Electric wires.
4. 6mm ² Wires are usually used for household registration purposes, as if each household's foundation is an outdoor distribution cabinet with a total length of 6mm ² This cable is also a larger square wire.
