Find the Best Marine Electrical Cable Online at EWCSwire.com

The wiring and cable used onboard a boat is different from other types of electrical wiring and the folks at Electrical Wire and Cable Specialists (EWCS) manufacture the best Marine Electrical Cable in North America.

Marine Conditions Demand the Best
Placing electrical wiring or cable into service onboard a boat requires the finest components and the most stringent manufacturing and engineering specifications. EWCS knows how important it is to use not only the best base metals and materials to produce a high quality electrical cable but they also know how important it is to maintain the highest level of quality control for production.


Starting With the Right Stuff
All electrical cable is made up of strands of copper wire twisted together and wrapped with a sheath or cover. High quality wire is made from the purest copper which is extruded into wire without cracks, nicks, or cuts in it and which can handle being flexed without deterioration or damage. EWCS manufactures their Marine electrical cable using 100% copper, not a mixture of copper and other metals, which allows the cable to be flexed and bent easily but which doesn’t affect the performance or condition of the copper wire strands.

Why is Flexibility Important?
Marine equipment, not only found on boats but also on the dock as well, is installed in areas with lots of twists and turns. Onboard a boat it is critical to place the cabling and wires in areas which are subject to many conditions. Marine electrical cable must not only adapt to the extremes of the marine environment, it must do so without diminishing its capacity or reducing the voltage being run through the wiring. Twisting and turning electrical cable can damage the copper wire strands inside the sheathing unless it is the highest quality copper.

Wire Voltage Ratings, Explained

Voltage rating is one of the most basic, fundamental ratings associated with electrical wire and cable, given in volts. Voltage itself is a measurement of electrical potential, calculated by multiplying a given electrical current (in amperes, I), by the resistance of a conductor, (in ohms, Ω). The material of the conductor, as well as the thickness, will all impact resistance. These things, being variables from which voltage is drawn, affect voltage rating. Think of voltage as the force “pushing” the electricity through a wire or cable, similar to how plumbing pipes experience line pressure, except that line pressure is measured in PSI instead of volts. Just like with water pipes, it is essential never to exceed the voltage rating of a given conductor - but instead of a burst pipe, exceeding the voltage rating of an electrical conductor can cause overheating, fires, and an elevated risk of dangerous electrical shock. But what exactly is a wire’s voltage rating? ...

Common Questions About Security and Alarm Cables, Answered

Not sure which type of security or alarm cable your facility or system needs? Hopefully, these answers to common questions can help! What cable is used for alarm systems? Security and alarm systems are usually wired with small-gauge wire specifically designed for the purpose. For instance, many security systems are wired with 12 and 18 AWG gauge alarm wire, as these low-voltage applications do not necessarily require larger, heavier wires. However, larger or wire gauges may be required depending on the circumstances. Also, there are some unique requirements for some systems. For instance, fire alarm cables must be made with specific insulation that is heat resistant and which does not produce toxic smoke when burned. What gauge cable do you need for alarm systems? Only your specific system requirements can answer that question, but often large wire gauges (that is, smaller wires) are used as security and alarm cables because of the low-voltage, low-current application. What is ...

Choosing The Right Marine Electrical Wire

When it comes to wiring in a marine environment, there are a lot of rules to consider. Even accomplished home electricians might have some difficulty safely wiring a boat for the first time. Not only do you need to use marine electrical wire , but you also need to follow the guidelines from the American Boat and Yacht Council(ABYC). One of the most important steps is choosing the right wire, which differs significantly from the wires used in homes. Anyone who has wired up a home is familiar with romex cable. These cables feature solid copper conductors that are insulated in rubber, wrapped in paper, and then jacketedin a final PVC Jacket. These cables are great at transferring electricity, but they are not built for boats. Boats are constantly moving environments, and stiff cables would quickly crack and pull themselves loose from their connections. In order to be as flexible as possible, marine electrical wires and cables have to use finely stranded copper conductors. Ev...
