Popular science cable knowledge: how to prevent cable fire

Power cable is an important part of electrical engineering, and its function is to transmit and distribute electrical energy. However, when an overcurrent occurs in the cable loop and the cable is overheated, the performance of the cable will change, which will cause a fire. The country’s annual fire loss due to improper cable operation is no less than tens of billions. Therefore, how to prevent cable fires is urgent ,details as follows:

1. Use measures such as sealing, blocking, coating, and wrapping to prevent the cable from spreading.

2. Carry out the cable test regularly, and deal with it immediately if any problems are found.

3. Install a fire alarm device to detect the fire immediately to prevent the cable from catching fire.

4. The cable trench should be kept dry to prevent the cable from being damp, causing the insulation to drop and cause a short circuit.

5. Enhance cable operation monitoring to avoid cable overload operation.

6. Occasionally clean the dust accumulated on the cable to prevent spontaneous combustion of the accumulated dust and cause the cable to catch fire.

7. Enhance the regular verification and maintenance of the cable loop switch and protection to ensure its reliable action.

8. Persist in the management and operation monitoring of the production quality of cable heads.

9. Create a good operating environment to avoid accelerated aging and damage to the cable insulation.
