The global market size of medium voltage cable increased in 2020According to a new report issued by the world's second market research firm “Markets and Markets”, the global market for medium voltage cable is expected to grow from $35.2 billion (RMB 224.05 billion) in 2015 to $48.8 billion (RMB 301.59 billion) of 2020, the compound annual g...
The global cable market is slowingEconomic slowdown witnessed a decline in the power cable market growth rate from 2009. However, there’s no sign of recovery in 2015. Moreover, the situation seems to get worse and worse.
Since the downturn in oil prices began, and currencies devaluation in many countries such as Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Russia...
Cable insulation and sheath materialThe cable insulation is a non-conductive material, or a material resistant to the flow of electric current. It is often called a dielectric in radio frequency cables. Insulation resists electrical leakage, prevents the wire current from coming into contact with other conductors, and preserves the material integ...
Global consumption of insulated cables will growComing to sales of insulated wires and cables, China and some other markets such as North America experienced a demand recession in the first quarter of 2015. With the impact of the frustrated economy, the expectation of the growth rate of global insulated wire and cable consumption is lowered to 3.2% whic...
Method of making power cablesThere are many ways to manufacture a cable, and there is no standard design to which all vendors will necessarily adhere.
Subsea power cables for oil and gas applications are typically composites, comprising multiple components such as HV/LV power cores, fiber optic bundles, hydraulic or instrument air hoses, etc. This...
History and Design of submarine cablesComposite subsea power and fiber optic cable.
Subsea cables (or umbilicals) have been in use since the mid-19th century, initially for telegraphic communications (including the pioneering 1858 transatlantic telegraph cable), and later for power transmission.
The development of subsea power cables has b...
Insulation material for power cablesThe cable insulation is a non-conductive material, or a material resistant to the flow of electric current. It is often called a dielectric in radio frequency cables. Insulation resists electrical leakage, prevents the wire’s current from coming into contact with other conductors, and preserves the material in...
Insulation material for cablesSemi-Rigid PVC (SR-PVC)
This is mainly used as primary insulation and is very abrasion resistant. (For 30-16 gauge, a 10 mil. wall meets UL style 1061, 80°C, 300 volts.) Semi-Rigid PVC is also heat, water, acid, and alkali resistant, as well as flame retardant.
Plenum Polyvinyl Chloride (Plenum PVC)
Plenum PVC is s...
Cable material Polyvinyl chloridePVC is a relatively inexpensive and easy-to-use material, with the potential to be used in diverse applications. The maximum temperature range is -55°C to 105°C and is flame, moisture, and abrasion resistant. It also holds up against gasoline, ozone, acids, and solvents. It can also be used for medical and fo...
The power cable insulation is not conduciveThe cable insulation is a non-conductive material, or a material resistant to the flow of electric current. It is often called a dielectric in radio frequency cables. Insulation resists electrical leakage, prevents the wire’s current from coming into contact with other conductors, and preserv...
