The need of Electric devices and tools for different types of wire is undeniable.
All electrical engineers have heard the term "high voltage industrial cable".
But what is a medium voltage transmission cable? Where is it used and what special functions does it have? Read on for answers! What is medium range voltage cable (MV Cable)? In electrical engineering, medium voltage cables are considered cables with rated voltages between 1000V and 30KV.
The term "intermediate voltage cable" is not clearly defined.
To understand what type of cable is required, we must first look at the location of the application.
Where are medium voltage cables used? In the power grid, medium voltage cables are used to supply electrical energy to an area.
Although they are an integral part of the grid, medium voltage cables are not used in national electricity exchanges because they maintain the voltage level between the high voltage grid and house installations.
Larger consumers of electricity, such as industrial companies, hospitals, large swimming pools and major radio towers, often have their own medium voltage cables within the company's own substations.
Since the traction network is between 15kV and 25kV, there is also a medium voltage line in use.
Large systems such as cranes or transport systems also require medium voltage cables for power supply due to increased energy requirements.
For these large systems, the voltage must be increased so that lower currents can be carried within the same cable, which means that the nominal conductor cross-section can be reduced.
However, these types of applications require energy to be transmitted through moving parts as opposed to permanently installed power grids.
Therefore, flexible cables and carriers that can transmit over long distances are essential, as medium voltage cables in these applications must be designed to handle permanent movement.
There are many types of wires and cables, each designed and manufactured for a specific application, there is an important difference between wire and cable.
is the number of sheaths used in it, since a wire has only one sheath, while a cable consists of two or more sheaths, the cable is designed according to the needs and existing conditions.
For example, for cables used underground, the core and PVC jacket are used.
A cable is a set of two or more wires, each protected by an outer layer, and the set of wires is protected by a final thick outer layer called insulation.
Cables can be made flexible in terms of performance for easy installation and use anywhere.
Some cables are dry and are only used for routes that do not require any flexibility.
