Do You Know The Differences Between Control Cables And Power Cables?

​Although both control cables and power cables are cables used to transmit electrical energy, there are still differences between the two. The main differences between control cables and power cables are as follows:

1. The working points of the two are different.

Control cables transmit electrical energy directly to the power connection lines and electrical appliances of various electrical equipment at the distribution point of the power system; while power cables transmit and distribute electrical energy in the trunk line of the power system.

2. The rated voltages of the two are different.

The rated voltage of control cables is generally 450/750V and below; the rated voltage of power cables is generally 0.6/1kV and above.

3. Different thicknesses under the same specifications.

When producing power cables and control cables of the same specifications, the insulation and sheath thickness of control cables are thinner than those of power cables.
