In the severe cold of winter, the phenomenon of the outer skin of wire and cable products falling off occurs from time to time. Xin Liqiang provides the following suggestions from various stages:
Factory Transportation: When loading products from the factory to transportation tools, thermal insulation and protection measures are required. For example, use a closed transportation tool to prevent the product from being directly exposed to the outside. Place a soft cushion, such as a quilt or other relatively soft foam, under the product. Handle with care during loading, do not load roughly, and avoid excessive bending of the product at the same time.
Upon Reaching the Destination or Construction Site: It is best for the product supplier to send personnel for supervision to prevent rough operation behavior during product unloading.
Storage: It is best to store the product indoors. At the same time, lay an isolation layer, such as a wooden board, quilt, foam, etc., on the storage ground to prevent the product from being affected by cold and moisture. Pay attention to preventing the phenomenon that the outer skin of the wire and cable is scratched due to direct contact with the ground.
Product Laying and Installation: It is best to choose to work in the afternoon when the temperature is relatively warm. If conditions permit, use equipment such as a warm air blower to "warm up" the product in advance before use, so that the product can reach the best performance state. If it is buried, a protective layer, such as fabric, foam, etc., can be laid in the cable trench in advance. If it is threaded through a pipe, the inside and outside of the pipe must be smooth in advance so as not to scratch the wire.
To make a long story short, in winter, wires and cables will become very fragile, and we need to "take care" of them. If you have better ideas, Xin Liqiang is willing to listen to your valuable suggestions.
