3. What is a Wire Wires are conductive strands or filaments typically made of metals such as copper or aluminum, designed to facilitate the transmission of electrical current. The primary role of wires in electrical systems is to conduct electricity, allowing the movement of electrons from one point to another.

5. Classification of Wires Wires can be classified based on several factors, including their material, size, insulation, usage, and application. Here's a breakdown of wire classification: Conducting Material (e.g., Copper, Aluminum) Insulation Material (e.g., PVC, Rubber, Teflon) Usage (e.g., THHN, Romex, Ethernet) Size/Gauge (AWG - American Wire Gauge) Specialized Wires in Electrical Engineering (Automotive Wires, Marine-grade Wires)

6. Classification on the basis of Conducting Material Copper Wires Solid Copper Wire : Single-strand wires made of pure copper, used in various electrical applications due to excellent conductivity. Stranded Copper Wire : Composed of multiple thin strands of copper twisted or braided together, providing flexibility and used in applications where flexibility is essential. Aluminum Wires Aluminum Conductors : Lightweight and less costly compared to copper, commonly used in overhead power transmission lines due to their lighter weight.

8. Classification on the basis of Insulation Material There are 7 types of wire on the basis of insulation of wire PVC Insulated: Wires PVC-insulated wires are among the most widely used due to their flexibility, resistance to moisture, chemicals, and abrasion, and cost-effectiveness Rubber Insulated Wires: Rubber-insulated wires offer greater heat resistance and flexibility compared to PVC Silicone Insulated Wires: Silicone-insulated wires offer high-temperature resistance, flexibility, and good electrical insulation properties. Teflon (PTFE) Insulated Wires: Teflon-insulated wires have superior resistance to heat, chemicals, and moisture. Nylon Jacketed Wires: Wires insulated with a layer of nylon offer added protection against abrasion and mechanical damage Fiberglass Insulated Wires: Teflon-insulated wires have superior resistance to heat, chemicals, and moisture. XLPE Insulated Wires (Cross-linked Polyethylene): XLPE insulation provides excellent thermal resistance, better electrical properties, and resistance to abrasion and environmental stress.

10. Classification on the basis of USAGE There are 3 types of wire on the basis of usage Thermoplastic High Heat-resistant Nylon-coated: THHN wires are electrical wires with a thermoplastic insulation (usually PVC) for the conductor, which is then coated with a thin layer of nylon. Romex Cables: Romex is a type of electrical cable used extensively in household electrical wiring in the United States. Ethernet Cables: Ethernet cables are a type of twisted-pair cable used to connect devices within a local area network (LAN) or for internet connectivity.

11. Wire Size Classification - American Wire Gauge (AWG) The American Wire Gauge (AWG) system is a standardized method used to measure the size or diameter of electrical wires. It assigns a numerical value to wires based on their diameter or cross-sectional area, with lower gauge numbers indicating thicker wires. Typical AWG Sizes and Uses: Larger AWG numbers (e.g., 18-22) are used for low-power applications, wiring internal components in electronics, and low-voltage systems. Medium AWG sizes (e.g., 12-16) are commonly used for household wiring, outlets, lighting, and general-purpose electrical circuits. Smaller AWG numbers (e.g., 8-10 or lower) are used for higher-power applications, such as heavy-duty appliances, electrical panels, and power distribution.

12. Classification on the basis of Specialized Wires There are 3 types of wire on the basis of Specialized Wires Automotive Wires: Automotive wires are specialized types of electrical wires designed for use in vehicles. Characteristics of Automotive Wires: Insulation and Jacketing Conductor Material Color Coding Durability and Flexibility Applications – Electrical Systems Engine Compartment Marine-grade Wires: Marine-grade wires, also known as marine cables or boat cables, are specialized electrical wires designed for use in marine environments.
