What are the applications of flexible wires and rigid wires in different scenarios?
Flexible wires and rigid wires have
their own unique applications in different scenarios, as follows:
###Application Scenarios of Flexible Wires
- **Internal Wiring of Electrical Appliances**: Inside home appliances such as refrigerators, air conditioners,
and washing machines, the space is compact, and the wires need to generate certain vibrations or displacements
along with the operation of the appliances. Flexible wires have good flexibility and can adapt to these situations.
They are not easily damaged due to vibrations or bends, ensuring the stable operation of the electrical appliances.
- **Power Cords of Mobile Electrical Appliances**: For electrical appliances that often need to be moved, such as
kettles, vacuum cleaners, and hair dryers, using flexible wires as power cords can facilitate the movement and use
of the electrical appliances. They are not likely to break during the dragging process, thus extending the service life
of the power cords.

- **Connecting Wires of Lamps**: For movable lamps or those that need to have their positions adjusted, such as
chandeliers and wall lamps, flexible wires allow the lamps to adjust their angles and positions more flexibly during
the installation and use processes. At the same time, they can withstand the stress changes caused by the swinging
or vibration of the lamps. Especially for some crystal chandeliers, flexible wires can better adapt to their complex
installation environments and styling requirements.
- **Weak Current Systems**: In weak current systems such as telephone lines and network lines, the flexibility of flexible
wires helps with wiring in narrow wire slots or conduits. Moreover, they can better resist external interference and
ensure the stability of signal transmission.
###Application Scenarios of Rigid Wires
- **Wiring of Fixed Sockets in Homes**: The socket lines in various rooms of a home usually use rigid wires. Rigid wires
have high mechanical strength. When laid as concealed wires inside walls and floors, they can withstand a certain amount
of pressure and tension and are not easily deformed. They can provide stable power supply for a long time, and when
connected to the terminals of sockets, they are more secure, reducing the potential risk of poor contact.
- **Lighting Circuits**: For the wiring of fixed lighting fixtures on the ceilings and walls of ordinary homes, such as ceiling
lights and downlights, using rigid wires can maintain a neat circuit layout after wiring through pipes. It is not likely to
have a chaotic circuit situation. At the same time, the insulation performance and mechanical strength of rigid wires can
ensure the safe and stable operation of the lighting system.
- **Wiring from the Distribution Box to Each Branch Circuit**: The wiring of the branch circuits from the distribution box
to each room or area is usually long in distance and requires fixed installation. Rigid wires can be better fixed inside the walls
or wire slots, reducing the possibility of circuit damage caused by external pulling or vibration, and ensuring the reliability
of the entire power distribution system.
- **Wiring in Industrial Factories**: In industrial factories, due to the large electricity consumption, there are high requirements
for the mechanical strength and stability of the circuits. Rigid wires are suitable for the power supply lines of power equipment,
lighting circuits, and bridge wiring inside the factory buildings. They can withstand large currents and mechanical stresses,
meeting the requirements of the industrial production environment.
