In the wave of the electrification era, insulated wires as the basic elements of power transmission and distribution, its development and the progress of human civilisation is closely related to the progress of science and technology continues to progress and the increasingly diverse needs of insulated wires have experienced a magnificent metamorphosis from the simple to the complex, from inefficient to efficient.
At the end of the 19th century, insulated wires are mostly made of natural materials such as rubber, silk and other simple packages, although these materials to a certain extent to play an insulating role, but it is difficult to meet the daily demand for electricity. Into the 20th century, synthetic insulating materials such as phenolic resin, PVC, etc. gradually applied to the wire manufacturing. These new materials have better insulating properties, improve the durability and safety of the wire, wire structure has also been optimised, such as the use of multi-layer insulation design, increase the shielding layer and other measures to speed up the transportation rate of the wire, improve the wire anti-interference ability.
After the end of World War II, insulated wires began to develop rapidly, the technology is more and more refined. On the one hand, new insulation materials such as cross-linked polyethylene, fluoroplastics, etc. continue to emerge, these materials and previous materials compared with higher insulation strength, better heat resistance and aging resistance; on the other hand, the wire production process has been significantly improved, such as the use of continuous extrusion moulding, automated testing and other technologies, greatly improving production efficiency and product quality. Into the 21st century, with the smart grid, green building and other concepts put forward, insulated wire technology has also begun to intelligent, environmentally friendly direction, able to transmit power, but also to achieve data transmission, condition monitoring and other functions; in the protection of wire performance at the same time, but also reduce the pollution of the environment.
Nowadays, there are many common types of insulated wires on the market, including high heat resistant cable, high voltage resistance, silver jacketed wire, etc. Choose the right wire according to your needs.
