THE DANGER OF USING POOR QUALITY WIRE AND CABLE

20/03/2020

Using inferior wires and cables not only wastes energy but also poses a lot of dangers to your family. Electrical equipment is being increasingly used in every household, therefore it is very important to ensure safety from poor quality wires and cables. The following will provide information to understand the harmful effects of poor quality goods, thereby share the experience in choosing to buy reputable and quality electric wires and cables.

Harmful when using poor quality wires and cables

There are often two errors in poor quality electric wires and cables: the poor conductor or insufficient cross-section and the low-quality insulator layer. These single errors can cause different damages during usage.

Many types of wires are not labeled confusing consumers

 

Poor conductor or insufficient cross-section can bring out these risks:

- Reducing the conducting ability of electricity can cause a voltage drop on the line, shorten the durability of the electrical equipment or make them work less efficiently.

- Excessive temperature rise on the line leads to the damage of the insulation causing power surge, fire, and explosion.

- Wires and cables with poor quality copper conductors are easily broken, difficult to connect to other devices.

 

Low-quality insulation will lead to harmful effects such as:

- Cracking/Leaking of the insulator layer creates the risk of short-circuiting.

- Cracks in the insulation cause electrical leakage, increase the risk of short-circuiting and fire.

- Poor-quality insulation cannot tolerate the conductor temperature which makes the layer melted and increases the risk of power incidents.

- Easily losing color after only a short time of use makes it difficult to repair.

 

Experience in choosing quality and prestige electric wires and cables

Admittedly, there are many different types of electric wire and cable in the current Vietnamese market, which can be genuine, counterfeit products, even products without labels. Therefore, for inexperienced buyers, making the right choice is very difficult. Here are the experiences to choose to buy quality wires and cables:

Tran Phu electric wire and cable always tag the brand name and ensure the quality of both core and the insulating sheath.

 

Firstly, pay attention to the packaging of the product.

We should only buy products with a clear origin, manufacturer's name, and trademark. In addition, it should choose the types of wires and cables that specify specifications such as brand, type name, cross-section, conductor structure (number of fibers and each fiber diameter), production standards.

 

Secondly, pay attention to the insulation - Good quality wires and cables will have a shiny, smooth outer layer.

- The quality plastic insulator layer will be very flexible when pulling out conductors that can stretch double, triple easily.

- The thickness of the insulation should be equal to avoid the case of the insulation flowing in the thinner shell during usage causing a fire.

 

Thirdly, pay attention to the conductor

The number of conductors can be checked by counting the number of small fibers inside the conductor and comparing it with the parameter recorded at the wire sheath. For a cross-section of the conductor, it is very difficult to check which requires specialized equipment. However, if such products are from reputable brands,  Tran Phu wires and cables for example, then it can be completely truthful the specifications written on the packaging.

A good conductor is bright, shiny and if it is made of copper, the conductor will be very flexible. For a single-conductor type, it is possible to bend the copper conductor several dozen times without breaking. As for the one with many fibers, it can be easily twisted by two fingers without making the threads burst, break, or stabbing into users' fingers.

 

With a history of more than 35 years forming and developing, Tran Phu Electric Mechanical Joint Stock Company has always pioneered in the application of advanced European technologies and techniques. Along with that, we are using the input materials which are rigorously selected from leading reputable suppliers in the country and in the world.
