Wires and cables are easily affected by the external use environment. Careless protection will easily lead to hardening of the wire body, peeling off of insulation skin and other phenomena. Many users will mistakenly believe that the product quality has problems, which in fact has a great relationship with the temperature. The outer skin of electric power cable and wire products is mostly ordinary plastic or rubber. When the environment is below zero, the wire body of the whole electric wire and cable products will become hard and brittle, which may lead to the peeling and damage of the outer skin under the action of slight external forces. Cables may be damaged if not properly transported.
So, how to prevent damage to power lines and cables? You are advised to take the following precautions:
I. Pay attention to protective measures during ex-factory transportation: Protective measures are required when products are ex-factory loaded onto the means of transport. Such as the use of closed means of transport, to prevent direct exposure of the product; A soft cushion, such as a bedclothes or other soft foam, applied to a product; Handle with care when loading, do not load roughly, and avoid excessive bending.
2. Pay attention to prevent mechanical damage when unloading: When arriving at the destination or the construction site, the product supplier had better dispatch personnel to supervise and prevent the product from causing mechanical damage due to rough operation behavior during unloading.
3. Indoor storage and laying isolation layer: It is better to store the products indoors, and at the same time lay an isolation layer on the stored ground, such as wood boards, bedding, foam, etc., to prevent the products from being exposed to cold and moisture. Pay attention to prevent the products from being scratched by the wires and cables in direct contact with the ground.
4. Pay attention to control the temperature and prevent scratch during installation of the product: it is better to choose to work under the condition of warm temperature in mid-afternoon. If possible, you can warm up the product in advance with the heater and other equipment before use, so that the product can achieve the best performance. If it is buried, can be laid in the cable trench with a protective layer, such as cloth, foam, etc. If you are wearing a tube, make sure the inside and outside of the tube is smooth in advance, so as not to scratch the wire. Iron pipe should pay special attention to the purchase of qualified iron pipe, low quality iron pipe tube may have a lot of sharp raised points, it is very likely to scratch the cable skin.
