In the era of rapid industrial development, the use of drag chain cables has become more and more widespread. With its widespread use in the industrial market to supply power to various equipment, the safety issue has also been attached great importance. In recent years, there have been many cases of fire caused by drag chain cables.
Then why do such problems occur in the use of drag chain cables? What can we do to avoid such accidents?
The standard section of core conductor of drag chain cable does not meet the standard requirements. The fire accident is caused by abnormal heating.
The production process of drag chain cables is poor. Although not every manufacturer is like this, some businesses in the market still use some inferior products to cut corners, resulting in the fire caused by the quality problems of the cables finally produced.
The material of the drag chain cable does not meet the specifications. The core wire of the cable is generally made of some copper or aluminum conductive materials. Many businesses often use unqualified or impure materials in the production process. This will cause the cable to contain more impurities and power fading. Therefore, the material used as the core wire must be some high-quality electrolyte materials, mainly copper and aluminum.
Due to poor processing of insulating materials, the core wire is generally wrapped with insulating materials outside the cable. If the quality of the insulating material is unqualified, the withstand voltage of the insulating material will be reduced in the process of use, which constitutes an unqualified resistor. Long term use will shorten its service life and easily cause fire.
