What is Power Cord Composed of?

The structure of power cord is not very complicated, it is mainly composed of metal conductor and insulation ourter jacket. Common metal conductors are copper which have good ductility and conductivity. As for insulation cover, the application of its material is very wide, common materials include:

• Polyvinyl chloride (PVC): rated temperature 60°C
• Heat-resistant PVC: rated temperature 75°C, 80°C, 90°C, 105°C
• Polyethylene (PE): rated temperature 75°C
• Irradiated polyethylene (XL PE): rated temperature 90°C, 105°C
• Silicone rubber (SLICON): rated temperature 180°C
