Frequently Asked Questions from TANO CABLE

Welding cable is made to be extremely durable and flexible Arc-welding requires a person to move the electrode around the shop and along the joints being welded, so it is essential to have a flexible welding cable that allows for ease of movement. A high strand count, concentrically arranged, and rubber insulation help increase the cable's flexibility.

The usual shield material of power cable are copper wire(CWS), copper tape(CTS), aluminum foil, and others composited material as aluminum-plastic composited tape.

The usual armor material of power cable are Steel wire(SWA), steel tape(STA), aluminum wire(AWA), aluminum tape ATA), and others special material as steel wire braided(SWB).

The common insulation material of power cable are PVC, XLPE, PE, Rubber, Fluoroplastic, and some special mineral compound.

The nominal cross-sectional area are 0.5mm2, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2.5, 4, 6, 10, 16, 25, 50, 70, 95, 120, 150, 185, 240, 300, 400 500, 630, 800, 1000, 1200, 1600, 2500, 3000mm2, the AWG are 24 to 0AWG and 1to 4/0AWG, and 250 to 3000MCM.

Portable cable, also called portable cord, is designed for temporary power supply applications, rather than for permanent installations. This cable is often referred to as “service cord” when supplying electricity to motors or appliances. Other, non-portable power supply cables may be installed permanently in buildings as overhead wiring, exposed wiring, or in direct burial applications to provide long-term electrical service.
