What is switchboard wire?

What is switchboard wire?

SIS is commonly referred to as Switchboard or Panelboard wire. It is a building wire product made of an insulated copper conductor – usually tin coated – with thermoset, cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation. The insulation properties of SIS are the same as XHHW-2.

What is SIS cable used for?

SIS Wire and SIS Cable (Switchboard Cable) is predominantly used in utility substations switchboards. The XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene) insulation is flame-retardant, heat, moisture, and radiation resistant.

What is Type SIS wire?

In the electrical industry, switchboard wire is often referred to as SIS wire. This particular type of lead wire is available in a number of different gauge sizes. It features a solid or stranded tinned copper conductor and cross-linked XLPE insulation.

Which wire is used in switch board?

SIS Switchboard wires are mineral filled, chemically cross-linked polyethylene with tinned copper conductors that are solid or stranded depending on size. A separator is applied over the conductor.

Is Sis wire tinned?

SIS wire is composed of a soft annealed solid or stranded tinned copper conductor with a Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) jacket. SIS Wire is available in a range of sizes from 4/0 to 18AWG.

What is XLPE wire?

What is XLPE? Also known as Cross-linked Polyethylene, XLPE is a very good insulation in terms of electrical properties. XLPE has very high insulation resistance, a stable dielectric constant over all frequencies, and a low dielectric constant.

For what load we are using 6a and 16A socket?

6/16A and 25A ratings. They are used for connecting geysers, AC, Room heaters , Kitchen appliances and water pumps. Use them with suitable rating switches , motor starters or mini MCB.

Is Sis wire tray rated?

With the ability to be dual rated, SIS Wires meet the standards of UL 3173, UL 3195, UL 3196, or XHHW-2 depending on the gauge size.

What is an e7018 electrode used for?

E7018 is a basic electrode designed to improve deposition rate and bead appearance for welding mild and low alloyed steels under conditions of high restraint.

What is application e7018?

Application E7018 is a basic electrode designed to improve deposition rate and bead appearance for welding mild and low alloyed steels under conditions of high restraint.

What is e70c6m used for in welding?

TYPICAL APPLICATION: E70C-6M is designed for welding of 490MPa high tensile steel with only Ar/CO₂ gas mixtures. It is especially suitable for welding and has a high tolerance to primer. Typical applications include machineries, shipbuilding, offshore structures, bridges and general fabrications.
