LV Control Cables: A Comprehensive Guide - Tempsens

Control cables are very specialized electrical cables used to carry signals and information through a broad spectrum of industrial applications and infrastructures. They have several individually insulated conductors and every conductor with a different signal. This design enables structured, secure, and very reliable communication. Their significance is highlighted in applications such as construction, power generation, automation, and precision instrumentation.

Significance of LV Control Cables

LV control cables are the backbone for most industries, such as but not restricted to steel production, glass manufacturing, chemical processing, fertilizer production, and energy distribution. They are designed to function effectively under harsh operating conditions including high temperatures, moisture exposure, mechanical abrasion, and electromagnetic interference (EMI).

The main purpose of LV control cables is to deliver control signals accurately and efficiently, allowing smooth and safe operation of automatic systems, instrumentation systems, and power distribution systems. Their rigid structure guarantees continuous operations even under some of the most extreme industrial settings one can imagine today.

Key Components of LV Control Cables

  1. Conductor: It is the metal wire that conducts the electric current from one point to another, composed of high-conductivity substances such as copper (bare, tinned, nickel-plated, or silver-plated) to conduct power or signals effectively, located in the middle.
  2. Insulation: A protective cover that can operate over temperature ranges of -267 °C to °C with heat and chemical resistance, is non-conductive, and allows for safe and efficient working conditions overall by isolating the conductors from one another, protecting from the environment, and preventing the possibility of a short circuit.
  3. Inner Sheath: Serving as an additional layer of protection, the inner sheath provides mechanical defense for the insulated conductors. Commonly used materials include PVC, silicone, or Teflon, selected for their durability and capacity to endure challenging environments.
  4. Outer Sheath: The ultimate protective coating, constructed to defend the cable against external harm. Typical materials employed are the robust forms of PVC, silicone rubber, or strengthened fiberglass composites.
  5. Construction: Cables may be twisted to minimize electromagnetic interference and enhance ruggedness.
  6. Screening: A conductive layer is added around the conductors or cores to protect from external electromagnetic or radio frequency interference to the signal or transmission of power, and there are two types of screening:
    1. Aluminum foil provides full coverage and includes a copper drain wire.
    2. Mesh Braided: These are constructed using copper wire with 70%-95% coverage.

The Benefits Of Using The Control Cable

Should you be a contractor, or maybe you possess a huge industrial business, chances are that you apply control cables. The control cable directly transmits electrical energy from the distribution point of the power system to the power connection line of various electrical equipment and appliances. There are some advantages to having these cables. Here’s a brief review of why you will want them.

The Advantages Of Using These Control Cables


The control cable has the characteristics of moisture-proof, anti-corrosion, and anti-damage, and can be laid in tunnels or cable trenches. It has the effect of anti-interference. In the process of information transmission, noise interference and loss are important factors that cause information distortion. Therefore, special processing technology is adopted for the control cable in the production process. In this way, the anti-interference ability of itself can be relatively stronger, especially for important information, it can play a good protective role.

When industrial control cables are wired, they go underground, so the wear resistance is relatively strong, and they have good corrosion resistance. Extend the service life of industrial control cables and ensure the overall quality of industrial control cables.

The control cable has high fire resistance, and will not short-circuit and short-circuit faults when subjected to direct flame burning within a certain period. It is suitable for various occasions where fire danger is high and fire safety is of high importance, and it is used as a connecting line between electrical equipment and control systems.

Application of Control Cables


The purpose of adding armor to the cable is to enhance the mechanical strength, such as tensile strength and compressive strength, prolong the service life, and improve the anti-interference performance of the cable through shielding protection.

Commonly used armoring materials include steel tape, steel wire, aluminum tape, aluminum tube, etc. Among them, the steel tape and steel wire armoring layer have high magnetic permeability and a good magnetic shielding effect, which can be used for anti-low frequency interference. And the cable can be directly buried and does not need to pass through the pipeline. Especially, the price is cheap, and the practicability is good.

Armored cable mechanical protection can be added to cables of any construction to increase the mechanical strength of the cable and improve corrosion resistance. This is a special cable designed for use in areas prone to mechanical damage and corrosion. It can be laid in any way and is more suitable for direct burial in rocky areas.
