Description

The revised Electrical Wire Handbook has been divided into three separate handbooks: Part 1 – Wire and Cable Production Materials, Part 2 – Wire and Cable Production Processes, and Part 3 – Types of Cables.

The intent of these handbooks is to provide basic but meaningful information to those people working in the wire and cable industry—especially those who are new to the field. Produced by the WAI’s Electrical Management Committee, these books are intended to serve as a valuable reference tool for members of the industry to help keep up with today’s rapidly changing technology.

Part 2 topics include the history of extrusion; adjustable speed drives; estimating extruder output; improving screw design; screw and barrel wear; cleaning alternatives; microprocessor control systems; braiding; wire and cable marking; cabling; and measuring gauges.
