In the design process of Machine Internal Wiring, accurately determining the specifications of the wires is crucial for the normal operation, performance and safety of the machine.
First, it is necessary to analyze according to the functional requirements of the machine. If the machine is used for low-power signal transmission, such as sensor signal or control signal transmission, the current demand is small. At this time, a wire with a smaller cross-sectional area can be selected. Usually, a thin wire in the range of 0.2 - 0.5mm² can meet the demand. However, if the machine is used for high-power equipment, such as a drive motor or a heating element, the current needs to be calculated according to its power size to determine the wire cross-sectional area that can carry the corresponding current.
Electrical parameters are also an important basis for determining the wire specifications. On the one hand, the operating voltage should be considered. Higher operating voltages require better insulation performance of the wire, so it is necessary to select a wire with an insulation layer thickness and material that meets the voltage requirements. On the other hand, the resistance characteristics should be considered. Excessive resistance will cause power loss and heating problems, so the upper limit of the wire resistance should be calculated based on the allowable voltage drop and power loss, so as to infer the appropriate wire cross-sectional area.
In addition, the working environment of the machine needs to be considered. In a high temperature environment, it is necessary to select high temperature resistant wire materials and insulation materials to prevent the wires from aging, deforming or even melting at high temperatures. In an environment with corrosive gases or liquids, the sheath material of the wire needs to have good corrosion resistance.
At the same time, considering the possible vibration, impact and wiring space limitations of the machine, the flexibility and mechanical strength of the wire also need to be taken into consideration. Wires with good flexibility are easy to wire in a limited space, while wires with high mechanical strength can better withstand vibration and impact and ensure the reliability of the connection.
In short, in the design of Machine Internal Wiring, comprehensive consideration of the functional requirements, electrical parameters, working environment and mechanical requirements of the machine can accurately determine the specifications of the wires to ensure safe and efficient operation of the machine.
