Is the power cable a wire or cable?
In daily habits, people use household cloth wires as wires, and power cables are referred to as cables.
Distinction between wires and cables"Wires" and "cables" have no strict boundaries in concept. Narrow sense is divided into "wire" and "cable", generally referred to as "cable"". Usually think:(1) a single root is called a line; the other is called a cable".(2) the small diameter is called "line"; the big diameter is called "cable"".(3) the simple structure is called "line"; the complicated structure is called "cable"".But with the expansion of the scope of use, many varieties "cable in the line", "cable in the cable."". So there's no need to make a strict distinction.
Power cable: the cable drawn from the power source (which should be part of the power cable) should be part of the wire and cable. (like a high voltage cable, a low voltage cable is one of the wires and cables.)Wire and cable mainly include bare wire, winding wire, power cable, communication cable and optical cable, electrical equipment.
