FAQ

• Q: What is a grounding cable?

  A: A grounding cable is a conductor used to connect electrical equipment to the grounding system to ensure safety.

• Q: What materials are grounding cables made of?

  A: Common materials include copper, aluminum, stainless steel, and tinned copper.

• Q: What is the difference between grounding cable and grounding wire?

  A: Grounding cable usually refers to thicker, multi-strand conductors, while grounding wire is thinner and often single-strand.

• Q: Can grounding cables be used in high-voltage systems?

  A: Yes, as long as they meet the required current-carrying capacity and insulation standards.

• Q: How do you choose the right grounding cable size?

  A: Size is determined based on system voltage, fault current, grounding resistance requirements, and national standards.

• Q: Are grounding cables suitable for outdoor use?

  A: Yes, but they should have UV-resistant insulation and corrosion protection.

• Q: What is the service life of grounding cables?

  A: Usually 10–30 years depending on the environment and material.

• Q: Do grounding cables require maintenance?

  A: Yes, periodic inspection of connections, corrosion, and insulation is recommended.
