Learning Objectives
 To familiar with the different types of wires

 To know the method of splicing


termination and jointing

Wires and Cables


 A wire is a single slender rod or filament of
drawn metal.
 A conductor is a wire suitable for carrying
an electric current.
 A stranded conductor is a conductor
composed of a group of wires or of any
combination of groups of wires.

Wires and Cables
 A cable is either a stranded conductor (single-
conductor cable) or a combination of conductors
insulated from one another (multiple-conductor
cable).
 The term "cable" is a general one and usually
applies only to the larger sizes of conductors.
 A small cable is more often called a stranded
wire or cord (such as that used for an iron or a
lamp cord). Cables may be bare or insulated.
 Insulated cables may be sheathed (covered)
with lead, or protective armor.
