What is the difference between multi-core cable and single-core cable

Jul 25, 2024

The differences between multi-core and single-core cables are: different conductors, different circuit capacities, and different safety.

1. Different conductors

Cable multi-core: cable multi-core has multiple conductors in an insulating layer.

Cable single core: the single core of the cable has only one conductor in an insulating layer.

2, different circuit capacity

Cable multi-core: the same section, the rated capacity of the multi-core cable is greater than the rated capacity of the single-core cable.

Cable single core: the same section, the rated capacity of the single-core cable is less than the rated capacity of the multi-core cable.

3, security is different

Cable multi-core: in the case of the same load or short circuit, the heat of the multi-core cable is greater than that of the single-core cable, which is more dangerous to use.

Cable single core: in the case of the same load or short circuit, the heat output of the single core cable is less than that of the multi-core cable, which is safer to use.
