How Do Control Cables Work?

How Do Control Cables Work?

Control cables transmit electrical signals to control equipment and machinery:

Conductors
Conductors

Typically consist of multiple insulated conductors, each carrying specific control signals.

01
Shielding
Shielding

Often include a shielding layer to prevent electromagnetic interference from external sources, ensuring signal integrity.

02
Voltage and Current
Voltage and Current

Operate at lower voltages and currents compared to power cables, as they transmit signals rather than high power.

03
Applications
Applications

Widely used in industrial automation, robotics, and process control, connecting sensors, actuators, and control systems.

Control Cable User Guide and Considerations

Control cable sizing charts help determine the appropriate conductor size based on current requirements and distance:

Current Carrying Capacity
Current Carrying Capacity

Charts specify the maximum current a cable can safely carry based on conductor size (AWG or mm²).

Voltage Drop
Voltage Drop

Consider voltage drop over long cable runs. Charts provide guidance on selecting larger conductors to minimize voltage loss.

Environmental Factors
Environmental Factors

Ambient temperature and installation conditions (conduit, free air) affect current carrying capacity and require adjustments.

Safety Margin
Safety Margin

Ensure compliance with relevant electrical codes and standards, and consider adding a safety margin to calculated current capacity.
