    This document discusses the elements of electrical engineering, specifically wires and cables. It defines wires and cables, noting that wires are single conductors used to transmit electricity and signals, while cables contain multiple conductors and are used for power transmission over longer distances. The document describes different types of wires, including VIR, TRS, PVC, weatherproof, and MICC wires. It also classifies cables based on voltage rating (low, high, super, extra high, extra super) and construction (belted, oil filled, gas pressure). Images are provided to illustrate the internal structures of various wires and cables. The document concludes by listing references used.

    Wires and Cables

    Basic Difference Between Wires and Cables


    Wires Cables
    • Single conductor • Two or more conductors
    • to bear the mechanical loads, to carry • To allow power transmission, to carry
    electricity, to transmit tele- electricity and telecommunications
    communication signals. Also used in signals.
    heating jewelry, clothing, automotive or
    • Higher strength, heavy duty, and
    industrial manufactured parts like pins,
    insulated.
    needles, fish hooks , bulbs, etc.
    • Solid wires offer low resistance, thus,
    perfect for use in higher frequencies.

    Cables
    • It is an assembly of one or more individually insulated
    electrical conductors, usually held together with an overall
    sheath.
    • They are used for transmission and distribution of electrical
    power.
    • Installed as permanent wiring within buildings.
    • Buried in the ground.
    • Run overhead.

    TYPES OF CABLES
    Classification Based Upon Voltage Rating

    • Low tension cables: These have a max voltage handling capacity


    of 1 kV
    • High tension cables: These have a max voltage handling capacity
    of 11 kV.
    • Super tension cables: These have a max voltage handling capacity
    of 33 kV.
    • Extra high tension cables: These have a max voltage handling
    capacity of 66 kV.
    • Extra super voltage cables: These are used for applications with
    voltage requirement above 132 kV.
