what is the difference b/w pvc cu conductor and cu breaded wire..?

Answer Posted / Kapil Rana

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) is a type of insulation material used in electrical wiring. Copper (Cu) conductors are solid copper wires used for carrying electrical current, while copper-clad aluminum (Cu breaded wire) consists of an aluminum core covered by a layer of thin copper on the exterior. The differences between PVC Cu conductor and Cu breaded wire are:
1. Material: PVC is the insulation material, whereas the conductor is made of solid copper in PVC Cu conductor, while it's aluminum coated with copper in Cu breaded wire.
2. Cost: Copper conductors are more expensive than aluminum-based conductors like Cu breaded wire. However, PVC Cu conductors offer better electrical conductivity compared to aluminum conductors due to their solid copper core.
3. Weight: Copper conductors are heavier than aluminum-based conductors like Cu breaded wire.

A 15 kw squirrel cage motor having a maximum efficiency of 90% on a continuous full load has temperature rise of 42 degrees celcius after 30 min and 52 degrees celcius after 1 hr under the above operation conditions. a) calculate its final steady state temperature rise on continuous load and the heating time constatnt. b) if the motor is operated on a short load for 9 min estimate its temperature rise. c) calculate the maximum overload that can be applied on a short, 9 min rating so that the temperature rise is the same as the final steady state temperature rise on continuous load.
