CTS wire stands for Cable Tyre Sheathed wire. It is a type of electrical wiring typically used for internal wiring applications.
CTS wire consists of an insulated conductor with a protective outer sheath made of a hard rubber or PVC material. This sheath provides additional protection against abrasion, moisture, and mechanical damage.
CTS wire is often used in conjunction with other types of wire, such as TRS (Twin Rubber Sheathed) wire. TRS wire is a type of cable that is often lapped onto the CTS wire, providing an additional layer of insulation.
CTS wiring systems are commonly used in various electrical installations, including:
* **Residential buildings:** For internal wiring, power outlets, and lighting circuits.
* **Commercial buildings:** For similar applications as residential buildings, but on a larger scale.
* **Industrial facilities:** For powering equipment and machinery.Some advantages of using CTS wire include:
* **Durability:** The protective sheath offers excellent resistance against wear and tear.
* **Flexibility:** CTS wire can be easily bent and routed around corners.
* **Cost-effectiveness:** CTS wire is generally considered to be a more affordable option compared to other types of wiring.
