ECHU's Control Cables provide reliable transmission of control signals for industrial automation, process control, and other applications where precise and timely signal delivery is crucial. These cables ensure the efficient operation and control of industrial equipment and processes.
Control cables transmit electrical signals to control equipment and machinery:
Typically consist of multiple insulated conductors, each carrying specific control signals.
Often include a shielding layer to prevent electromagnetic interference from external sources, ensuring signal integrity.
Operate at lower voltages and currents compared to power cables, as they transmit signals rather than high power.
Widely used in industrial automation, robotics, and process control, connecting sensors, actuators, and control systems.
Selecting the size of control cables requires a comprehensive consideration of several factors, including load current, cable length, environmental conditions, insulation materials, standard specifications, and safety factors, to ensure the reliability and safety of the cable system.
Control cable sizing charts help determine the appropriate conductor size based on current requirements and distance:
Charts specify the maximum current a cable can safely carry based on conductor size (AWG or mm²).
Consider voltage drop over long cable runs. Charts provide guidance on selecting larger conductors to minimize voltage loss.
Ambient temperature and installation conditions (conduit, free air) affect current carrying capacity and require adjustments.
Ensure compliance with relevant electrical codes and standards, and consider adding a safety margin to calculated current capacity.
