Electrical Cable
Electrical cables are used in every sector which are used in transporting electrical energy from one point to another. These cables are composed of materials that are electrically conducting with an outer insulating cover. When the cables are connected to the corrected terminal of the the application allows them to carry the power or current into them. These cables are used for the distribution of electrical power to various destinations. They transmit high-voltage power where the overhead lines are impractical to use and implement. There purpose of electrical cables is to transport the electrical energy from one point to another destination. The electrical cables are an assembly of one or more wires that are twisted with each other and are used as conductors for carrying electrical current. These cables can have different configurations based on their design on national and international regulations.
