The Importance of Proper Power Cable Selection for Electrical Safety

Date Posted:16 June 2023 

When it comes to working with electricity, you need the right tools and equipment for the job. Otherwise things can very quickly go wrong, even resulting in deaths. This includes cables.

Not all cables are made equal though, so they will not suit every job. Therefore, your electrician needs to consider the requirements of the work carefully. If they don’t, the cable can become damaged through use. This then can lead to damage to property, like circuits constantly being shorted or even fires being started. If the cable is severely compromised or is vastly inappropriate for the job it is being used for, it can lead to injury, such as shocks and burns, and even electrocution-related deaths.

That’s why having access to a range of quality and reliable power cables is a must for all electricians. But how do they know which is right for the job?

How Do Electricians Choose the Right Electrical Cable?

There are three main aspects of a power cable that an electrician needs to factor in when picking the right cable for the job.

1. Usage

Understanding how the cable will be used and affected by day-to-day wear and tear is of utmost importance. Therefore, knowing what current it will need to be able to comfortably carry is vital. It may also need to withstand a level of short circuits and thermal damage.

Similarly, how and where the cable will be installed is an important consideration too. For instance, it may be regularly exposed to the elements, and even have everyday interaction, leading to greater wear and tear. This can then affect the cable’s tension and strength if a suitably durable option has not been correctly selected.

2. Materials

A cable’s composition including the conductor material, amount of insulation and shielding, and the final finish all need to be carefully considered.

In regards to the conductor materials, these need to be chosen with thought given to environmental conditions and maintenance requirements. Similarly, the class of stranding the job requires will also be a factor. For instance, single-conductor cables can be easier to install and splice, but can overheat more easily. In comparison, multi-conductor cables have a better balance and distribution of voltage stress.

When it comes to insulation and finish, this is another area where the conditions the cable will be operating in must be thought about. For instance fluctuations or extremes in temperature can be detrimental for some cables. Additionally the cables may be exposed on the regular to damaging elements, like oils or solvents, or even pests like rats, and therefore need to be able to withstand these interactions. Voltage stress across the cable’s different operating conditions will also impact the final insulation and finish combination chosen.

Finally, shielding is also a factor for cable choice. As shielding helps mitigate air particle ionisation, it becomes more critical for cables carrying higher loads. Proper shielding helps to limit safety hazards and improve the reliability of circuits.

3. Australian Standards

Regulations and standards on electrical work and materials exist to improve safety for all. Choosing cables that meet these standards helps ensure that they are safe to use. Additionally, standardisation across the entire national product range means that electricians returning to the work at a later stage or using the cables in various jobs can make a fair assessment of what the cable is and is suitable for. Furthermore, all electrical cables in Australia must carry the RCM mark or relevant approval number printed on the outer sheath of the cable. Without this approval number, the cable is illegal to sell on the Australian domestic market.
