Knowledge points on maintenance and upkeep of wires and cables

 Wire and cable are products closely related to our lives and are essential energy sources for human activities. The length of the cable's service life depends on the quality of the cable and the environment in which it is installed. Therefore, maintenance and upkeep of wires and cables are extremely important.

Maintenance of wires and cables:
1. Avoid letting the wires get damp, heated, corroded, or damaged, and try to use them in an unhealthy environment.
2. After using the wire for a period of time, regular inspections should be carried out on the wire. If any problems are found, they should be replaced as soon as possible.
3. Do not overload the wires to avoid accidents.
4. Regularly check the usage of electrical and wiring in the home, identify problems, and promptly carry out maintenance and repairs.
5. Some lines installed in old buildings or in disrepair need to be checked for aging. If any problems are found, electricians should be immediately hired for repair.
6. Pay special attention to the lines that are prone to flooding. If necessary, ask an electrician to relocate the lines and take measures such as elevated and moisture-proof protection.
7. If there is a power outage on rainy days, the power should be cut off immediately. Please have an electrician investigate the cause and assign a dedicated person to take care of it.

Maintenance of wires and cables:

1. Regularly clean the dust on the surface of the insulation sleeve. Areas with severe pollution should be cleaned more frequently.
2. If there is any collision damage to the cable or protective tube, or if the installation auxiliary device of the cable is missing, it should be repaired immediately.
3. If there are cracks, fissures, and corrosion in the metal sheath of the cable, temporary treatment should be carried out first, and records should be kept for planned maintenance and replacement.
4. If the outer skin has peeled off more than 40% or the armor layer has rusted bare, anti rust paint should be applied for protection.

5. Due to the high gravity and vibration, the inner sheath of high differential cables is prone to fatigue and cracking damage, which greatly affects the use of the cables.

Editor's conclusion: Because wires and cables are closely related to our lives, mastering the knowledge of wire and cable maintenance and upkeep is quite important. I hope my sharing can help friends in need.
