The Need for Individual Tinning in Marine Battery Wire

You’re probably familiar with the Statue of Liberty’s pleasant, sea green color. While that seafoam green has become an endearing artistic calling card of that artistic fixture when she was new she was the color of a penny. Shiny, bright, and copper-clad - the same color as a penny or of marine electrical wire. The Statue of Liberty’s color changed due to oxidation that occurred due to contact with the elements, which is the exact same thing that will happen to copper electrical wire and cable when they are exposed. The problem is that electrical wire and cable are not pieces of art whereas statuary is. If copper wire tires turn green their conductivity will be severely adversely affected. Oxidized copper wire is actually a very poor, very inefficient conductor of electricity, and since vessels and other electrical infrastructure that uses them rely on them to keep the lights on the navigational equipment operational, it’s critical to protect marine grade battery cable safe from oxi

What Makes Marine Electrical Cable Suitable for The Hazardous Environment

For those whose, livelihood and profession depend on how kind the sea is to them—carpe diem. It’s a place where virtually everyone should keep their eyes peeled for possible dangers such as chemical reactions or harsh environmental conditions. You just really have to be attentive to anything that might fail as this could absolutely jeopardize not just the body of the boat but also a lot of electrical components that might start a fire if not handled properly. When dealing with electrical systems on a boat, there’s a need to use specific materials to maintain safety standards so as not to risk the lives of everyone else. There’s no way to use the same electrical materials we usually use on land when you’re working on a boat because of the hazardous work environment. Considering all kinds of weather conditions, a marine electrical cable is distinctively designed to withstand the uncertainty of the marine environment. What is it made of? The great thing about marine electrical cables
