3 Core Round Cable is a type of electrical cable that contains three insulated conductors, typically used for power transmission and various electrical applications. The round shape of the cable helps in easy installation and better flexibility, making it suitable for a wide range of indoor and outdoor uses. Each of the three cores is typically insulated with PVC or other durable materials, and they are further encased in an outer protective sheath.
Key Features:
Conductor Material: Usually made from high-conductivity copper or aluminum. Copper is preferred for its superior electrical conductivity and flexibility.
Number of Cores: The cable consists of three individual insulated conductors, also referred to as live, neutral, and earth (ground) wires. These cores are color-coded for easy identification during installation.
Live (Brown/Red): Carries the current to the load.
Neutral (Blue/Black): Completes the circuit by returning the current.
Earth (Green/Yellow): Provides a safe path for current in case of a fault to prevent electric shock.
Insulation Material: The individual cores are insulated with PVC or similar materials, providing electrical insulation and mechanical protection.
