The popularity of electric power in our country is already very high. The production and manufacturing of all walks of life are inseparable from electric power, and electric power cannot be separated from control cables. The service life of control cables directly affects our life and production. Usually, regular brands of control cables have a long service life and can achieve better results without special maintenance. It is because of the following reasons. It is recommended to fully understand these reasons to avoid various unexpected hidden dangers. Let me introduce you below:

1. Blindly greedy for cheap

Many people pay more attention to price positioning when buying control cables, and they are usually willing to choose cheap prices. It seems that the control cables are similar, so it is better to choose some low prices. Blind greed for cheap will definitely directly affect the quality of control cables. The quality of use, as the saying goes, you get what you pay for. I believe everyone understands this truth. When buying such important materials as control cables, don't be greedy for cheap.

2. Improper selection of models

Control cables come in different specifications and sizes. It is necessary to make a comprehensive judgment based on the environmental conditions, the use requirements of electrical appliances, and the direction of application. Better standards, more important advantages in the actual use process, if you choose an improper model, it will affect the normal use effect, and there may even be many dangerous situations.

We all know that the service life of general control cables is 20 years, but the actual service life of control cables will be reduced. What is the reason for this? The following editor will introduce to you some factors that affect the service life of the control cable:

1. Environment and temperature: If the temperature is too high, the insulation of the control cable may be broken down, so attention must be paid to the ambient temperature. In addition, if the control cable is overloaded for a long time, the temperature will inevitably rise and the aging of the insulation will be accelerated. This problem must be paid more attention to in the hot summer.

2. Rainy day: If you encounter bad weather such as rainy day, you should deal with it according to the actual situation. When there is a power failure, you should cut off the power immediately, ask an electrician to check the reason, and send a special person to take care of it.

3. Maintenance: The control cable is mainly insulated by the outer layer of sheath. Over time, it is corroded by corrosive gases, and the insulation performance gradually decreases, and it ages and hardens, becomes brittle or falls off. Therefore, in order to ensure the safe use of the control cable, we should do a good job in its maintenance.

4. Laying environment: If the control cable is laid in an area with strong acid and alkali properties, it may cause the cable to be corroded, and finally the insulation layer will be reduced, resulting in cable failure. Therefore, it is also necessary to analyze the local soil quality before laying cables.

If the quality of the control cable is very poor, there will always be hidden dangers in the actual application process, which will cause great safety risks to family life and work environment, and the stability of the circuit will also be greatly affected, and there may even be a fire. And other serious problems, it is recommended not to be blindly greedy for cheap, but to choose high-quality control cables that meet the needs of use, and to do a good job in the maintenance and maintenance of control cables.
