Why Should You Choose Insulated Wires Miracle
Electronics
Spending money on a product that doesn't last
long is not a wise decision. One such neglected
yet important decision is that of using the right
kind of wires and cables. Choosing a wrong kind
of wire may hinder the working of the circuit,
cause wastage of time for making repairs, or may
even damage your circuit or equipment! This is
why you need to choose your wires and cables
very carefully. The best choice here is insulated
wires. The insulation on the wires can keep your
cables performing at optimum levels by preventing
corrosion and other adverse effects that lead
to failure. Wire failure can be caused by a
number of factors depending upon the type of
application and surrounding environment.
Chemicals One of the most important factors is
the chemicals that the wires encounter. In many
household appliances and underground cable
applications, harmful chemicals are present. In
such applications, you need insulated wires that
are extremely resistant to chemicals and gases
that can lead to corrosion. You must also look
for cables that can be used in damp and moist
environments.

Weather and environmental conditions The weather
in which the wires are used and their surrounding
environment plays a very important role in
corrosion of the wires. Insulated wires that are
made specially to perform in both high
temperatures and colder temperatures are the best
choice. One such material is cross-linked
polyethylene. Pressure Another reason for cable
failure could be the pressure that the cables
come across. Especially in underground
applications, the amount of pressure that the
wires face is incredible. And, in order to
elongate the life of your cables and maintain
maximum performance in such situations, you need
to ensure that the wires you use don't surrender
to being crushed, and have great resistance to
crushing and pressure. This is where insulated
wires are preferred, especially where the
insulation is a high molecular weight
polyethylene material. Also, in conditions where
the cable is going to be bent frequently, you
need to make sure that the wire is insulated
such that it gives the cable the freedom of
motion it requires. If this flexibility is not
provided, the wire won't be able to last
long. There is also another good reason that
insulated wires can help. When you have equipment
that has a multitude of wires connected, it
becomes difficult to identify or remember the
different wires. When you buy insulated wires,
you can have different wire types with different
coloured insulation jackets. This will help you
determine and identify the wires easily and
quickly, which helps during installing,
repairing, and re-installing meaning lesser time
wasted. So, when you need to make a good
investment, you need wires that are insulated,
and can withstand chemicals, gases, weather,
environmental conditions, and pressure. And, you
can also opt for cable harnesses instead of
individual cables, not only to keep the cables
safer, but to also make your working space neat
and organized, and also keep yourself safe
against shocks or disasters. You can get the
best harnesses at Miracle Electronics, one of the
most reliable cable harness manufacturers in
India.
