When it comes to electrical wiring, panel wire cables are a crucial component that ensures the safe and efficient flow of electricity in control panels and other industrial equipment.
Customers value Top Cable’s panel wire cables for its flexibility and bending radius, due to the materials of our special PVC compound. Our wide range of cross-section and colours is also well appreciated in the market.
What type of cable is used for homes and buildings?
The best cable for homes and buildings is a flexible cable that typically contains two or three insulated conductors, one of them being a ground wire, wrapped together in a sheathing, and an outer sheath (or jacket). Top Cable recommends the TOPFLEX® V-K H07V-K cable, or its LSZH version: TOXFREE® H07Z1-K.
What type of cable is used in a panel wire?
The panel wire cables are specifically designed for use in electrical panels, control systems, and wiring within buildings. They are often used to connect various components in electrical systems and usually have a specific type of flexible insulation.
Are panel wire cables fire-retardant?
Yes, panel wire cables can be fire-retardant. For example, our cable TOXFREE® H07Z1-K is fire non propagator based on EN 60332-3-22 and IEC 60332-3-22, flame non propagator based on EN 60332-1 and IEC 60332-1, halogen free based on EN 60754-1, Low corrosive gases emission according to IEC 60754-2. Its smoke density and light transmittance is >80% , based on EN 61034 / IEC 61034. Finally, the cable’s reaction to fire according European Norm CPR is B2ca-s1a, d1, a1 according to EN 50575.
Which cable is recommended for domestic electrical installation?
For domestic and building use, Top Cable recommends the TOPFLEX® V-K H07V-K cable, or its LSZH version: TOXFREE® H07Z1-K.
What is the standard cable size for normal house wiring?
In a domestic installation, the electrical current to flow through determines the electrical cable sizes (or cross-section). For example, an air conditioning unit requires more current to operate than a lamp. Therefore, the cable cross-section connecting the air conditioning unit will be larger than the one connecting the light. More info in this article.
Why is it convenient to use halogen-free cables at home?
LSZH cables are very suitable for home improvement. Using low smoke halogen-free cables in a domestic installation enhances safety by reducing toxic emissions and smoke in case of fire, aligns with environmental standards, and helps meet regulatory requirements. It’s a smart choice for a safer home.
What is the point of the earth cable?
By providing a safe path for electrical current to flow to the ground, earthing prevents electric shocks, protects equipment from damage, and reduces the risk of fire hazards. When there is no earth wire, there is a greater risk of electric shock in case of faults.
In which installations is it recommended to use panel cables?
Panel wire cables can be used within a variety of construction sectors:
