How To Choose The Right Electrical Cable For Your Home?

Whether you're installing a new electrical system or upgrading an existing one, you'll need to choose the right wire or cables to ensure safety and durability. By choosing the right type of wires or cables, you can make your home safer and more resistant to electrical shock.

1. INSPECT THE INSULATION OF THE WIRE

Three-layer electric cable is the best option. The first layer provides water resistance, the second provides heat or high-temperature resistance, and the third layer provides fire resistance.

2. CHOOSE A HIGH-QUALITY MATERIAL

Electric wires and cables are typically made of both aluminum and copper. However, when choosing copper cable for your home, only copper wires should be considered. Furthermore, instead of single-strand wires, choose wires with multiple strands

3. WIRE INSULATION COLOR

Use red, yellow, and blue insulation for the three phases. The earth wire is green, and the neutral wire is black. Three-phase wires are usually black, red, and blue, white neutral wires are grey or white. In addition, the green wire serves as an earthing wire.

4. SELECT THE APPROPRIATE CABLE SIZE

The choice of cable size is influenced by three factors. First and foremost, voltage regulation. Second, there's the short circuit rating, and then there's the current-carrying capacity. Before selecting a cable size, consider the following factor!
Whether you're building a house or moving into a new place, you should always check the quality and type of electrical wiring you're going to use. It's better (and more practical) to use cables made by well-known brands, such as Rallison wiresbecause well-known brands guarantee high-quality products. It's also a good idea to seek advice from professionals to ensure that you're making the best decision for your home wiring needs.
