What is the difference between wires and cables?
A wire is a single conductor that carries electricity, while a cable is a group of two or more insulated electrical wires bundled together. Wires and cables are used to transmit electrical power or signals, but cables provide better protection and are often used where safety and durability are critical. -
How do I choose the right electrical cable for my project?
When selecting an electrical cable, consider the required voltage, current capacity, installation environment, and safety standards. For example, choose power cables for high-load transmission, solar cables for photovoltaic systems, or insulated electrical wires for indoor wiring. Always ensure the cable meets international standards such as IEC, UL, or ISO. -
