Construction of Cable and It's Classification

Construction of Cable and It's Classification is given below in detail


Construction of cable
Construction of Cable and It's Classification

  • A cable is the made by solid conducting material i.e. copper or aluminium and it's coated by insulation material.

Construction Of Cable


  • Cable is construct by various parts which is mentioned below:

  1. Conductor
  2. Insulation
  3. Metallic sheath
  4. Bedding
  5. Armouring
  6. Serving

  • Description of all the parts is described below in detail..

  1. Conductor


  • The main function of conductor is to carry the current in such a manner.

  • There are different types of conductor are used i.e copper, aluminium, tin, etc..

  • We can use gold and silver, but these metals are very costly.

  2. Insulation


  • Insulation is required between the conductor and earth.

  • There are different types of insulation are used such that PVC, paper, varnished rubber, metalized paper, etc...

  • Insulation protect the conductor.

  3. Metallic sheath


  • Moisture is effect the insulation, because of moisture electric strength will be decreases.

  • So it should be required that the moisture does not enter into insulation.

  • To avoid this effect, Sheath of lead is provided over the insulation.

  • If we used copper conductor then aluminium sheath is provided over the insulation.

  4. Bedding


  • Bedding is used for protect the sheath from mechanical damage.

  5. Armouring


  • Armouring protect the cable from mechanical damage.

  • To protect this two layers of galvanized steel wires are wound on the bedding.

  6. Serving


  • Serving is the layer of jute which is provided on the armouring.

Classification of Cables


  • Cable can be classified according to different bases. It can be classified below.

According to bases of number of core


  1.  1 core cable
  2.  2 core cable
  3.  3 core cable
  4.  3 (1/2) core cable
  5.  4 core cable

According to bases of voltage


  1. Low tension cable ( operating voltage upto 1000 V)
  2. High tension cable ( operating voltage upto 11000 V)
  3. Super tension cable ( operating voltage upto 33000 V)
  4. Extra High tension cable ( operating voltage upto 66000 V)
  5. Extra super voltage cable ( operating voltage upto 132000 V)

According to bases of application


  1. Power cable ( for the transmission and distribution of power)
  2. Control cable ( For transmission of control signal)

According to bases of insulation


  1. Paper insulated cable
  2. PVC insulated cable
  3. Polithelene insulated cable
  4. Rubber insulated cable
  5. Varnished cambric insulated cable

According to bases of sheath


  1. Aluminium sheathed cable
  2. PVC sheathed cable
  3. Lead sheathed cable
  4. Lead alloyed sheathed cable

According to bases of armouring


  1. Single layer steel wire armoured
  2. Double layer steel wire armoured
  3. Double layer steel tape armoured

According to bases of construction


  1. Low tension cable
  2. Screened or H type cable
  3. SL type cable
  4. HSL type cable
  5. Belted cable
  6. Super tension cable
  • A. Oil filled cable
  • B. Gas pressured cable

Introduction to Arduino | Pin Function of Arduino | Working Process of Arduino

Introduction to Arduino | Pin Function of Arduino | Working Process of Arduino Introduction to Arduino | Pin Function of Arduino | Working Process of Arduino Introduction To Arduino Arduino is an Italian company that designs and manufactures Open Source Hardware (Microcontroller) and Open Source software or IDE (Integrated Development Environment). Arduino hardware is such a programmable computerized platform, by working on which the user can combine the hardware and software and prepare the electronic brain according to his own and can control the electronic devices from that electronic brain. What is arduino? If you want to understand more easily, then we can say that Arduino microcontroller is an empty brain, in which you can upload memory by coding or programming through arduino software, so these are called open source. Arduino works like a CPU of a board computer. Right now the microcontroller of the arduino of this time that we can take up is lik

What is Microprocessor? | Block Diagram of Microprocessor | Application of Microprocessor

What is Microprocessor? | Block Diagram of Microprocessor | Application of Microprocessor What is Microprocessor? | Block Diagram of Microprocessor | Application of Microprocessor Basic Detail Of Microprocessor The  microprocessor is a semiconductor device consisting of electronic logic circuits manufactured by using either a large scale(LSI) or very large scale integration(VLSI) technique. The microprocessor is capable of performing computing functions and making decisions to change the sequence of program execution. In large computers, the central processing unit(CPU) performs these computing functions and it is implemented on one or more circuit boards. The microprocessor is in many ways similar to the CPU, however, the microprocessor includes all the logic circuitry(including the control unit)on one chip. The microprocessor consists of the following three segments which is shown in below diagram. Block Diagram of Microproce

What is Instrumentation? And Modes of Measurement

What is Instrumentation? And Modes of Measurement Definition of Instrumentation The technology of using instruments to measure and control the physical and chemical properties of materials is called “ instrumentation ". What is Instrumentation? And Modes of Measurement When the instruments are used for the measurement and control of industrial manufacturing , conversion or treatment processes, the term process instrumentation is applied. When the measuring and controlling instruments are combined so that measurements provide impulses for remote automatic action, the result is called a control system. Modes of Measurement There are the three modes of measurement: 1. Primary Measurement 2. Secondary Measurement 3. Tertiary Measurement All the three modes are described below: (1) Primary Measurements In the primary measurement sought value of a parameter is determined by comparing it directly with reference standar
