Single Conductor Cables (Hook-Up Wire) are a type of electrical wiring, usually consisting of one or more individual insulated or bare conductors contained in a sheath or jacket. This type of cable is used primarily in electrical wiring for control panels, electrical motors, switches and other devices.

In this article, we will analyze 55A0816-18-9 Cable, a UL listed Single Conductor Cable, and its application field and working principle.

Description

55A0816-18-9 Conductor Cable is a single conductor cable, consisting of 16 AWG stranded copper conductor, PVC insulation, and an overall jacket of XCPP (cross-linked polypropylene). It is UL listed, RoHS compliant, flame resistance with FV-2 rating, and it can support up to 600 Volts.

Application Field

55A0816-18-9 Single Conductor Cable is mostly used in a broad range of industrial and residential applications, such as control panel wiring, motor wiring, lighting circuits, signal and communication wiring, instrumentation, and general-purpose wiring.

Working Principle

When using the 55A0816-18-9 Single Conductor Cable, the conductor is subjected to two different currents: AC current and DC current. AC current passes through the conductor as an alternating current, while DC current passes through the conductor as a direct current. Both currents must be properly calculated to ensure that the cable is suitable for the required application, otherwise, the cable may be damaged.

When using AC power, the conduit is protected from surges, spikes, and shorts. It is designed to handle large amounts of current, and can dissipate static charge build-up immediately and safely. The insulated PVC insulation protects people and equipment from electric shock.

When using DC power, the cable is designed to handle large amounts of current, and can also dissipate static charge build-up quickly and safely. The insulation helps to ensure that it is resistant to corrosion, and helps to prevent electric shock.

The XCPP outer sheath provides protection against humidity, cracking, and chemical or thermal degradation. This sheath is also flame retardant, which provides additional protection.

Conclusion

In short, 55A0816-18-9 Single Conductor Cable is suitable for a broad range of industrial and residential applications, including control panel wiring, motor wiring, lighting circuits, signal and communication wiring, instrumentation, and general-purpose wiring. It is designed to handle large amounts of current, and has an insulation and outer shell that provides protection against corrosion, humidity, cracking, and chemical or thermal degradation. In addition, the cable is UL listed, RoHS compliant, and flame retardant, providing additional safety benefits.
