draadtype
Draadtype is a Dutch term used to refer to the classification of electrical wires and cables, describing the characteristics that determine their suitability for specific applications. In practice, a draadtype combines information about the conductor, insulation, shielding (if any), and the intended operating conditions.
Conductor and construction. Wires may have solid or stranded conductors. Conductors are typically made of copper
Insulation and jackets. The insulation material protects the conductor and defines safety ratings. Common insulation types
Shielding and special features. Some draadtypes include shielding (foil or braided) for electrical noise reduction, or
Standards and ratings. Draadtypes are defined by national and international standards and must meet specified voltage,
Applications and selection. Draadtypes are used in residential wiring, automotive and machinery, industrial systems, and electronics.
