Description
Plastic copper-core wires can be used for connections between power installations, lighting, electrical equipment, instruments, meters, and telecommunications equipment with AC nominal voltages not exceeding 450/750 V. The dataset includes major raw and auxiliary materials, energy inputs, and wastes from the production process; infrastructure such as production equipment and factory construction are excluded from the system boundary of the dataset. The life cycle inventory is compiled from data sourced from multiple references. The manufacturing process of plastic copper-core wires includes wire drawing and annealing, insulation extrusion, inspection and packaging.
Activity Description
The production activities of this product include wire drawing and annealing, insulation extrusion, inspection and packaging processes.
Process Description
Cables are typically formed by twisting several wires or groups of wires (each group containing at least two wires). The wire groups are insulated from each other and commonly twisted around a central core, with the entire assembly covered by a highly insulated sheath that provides flame-retardant and electrostatic shielding properties. This product is primarily used for connections in power installations, lighting, electrical appliances, instruments, telecommunications equipment, and other apparatus with a nominal alternating current voltage not exceeding 450/750V.
