How Safe Are Your Materials?

Working as an electrician, or any sort of technician that deals with electrical wire and cables, is a tough job, and in many ways, a dangerous one. If you’re in the field, you know that safety is a number one priority and an ever-looming concern. With certain projects, safety takes precedent over all other factors, and not just pertaining to you. In some situations, you can do the job exactly how it’s meant to be done, and still end up with a dangerous infraction on the safety of yourself and others. A prime example of this kind of job is the installation of a fire alarm.

At EWCSWire, we know that the correct installation of a fire alarm is only half the battle. Why is this? Well, any good technician knows that the completion of the job is contingent upon the functionality of the finished work. Without a high functioning fire alarm cable, a technician risks failure in the device. With a fire alarm, failure is simply not an option. It’s the difference between life and death and, although we take every single product we sell seriously, we’re even more concerned with the quality of our fire alarm cables.

The truth is, there are plenty of jobs that put you at risk. Anyone working with marine wires and cables, or any job that involves water, knows the dangers of electricity. It’s not fun to get shocked and, in many instances, it can be lethal. That’s why we sell the highest quality materials in every single product category there is on EWCSWire.com. We understand that every single cable and wire you work with needs to be flawless, and that’s why we only sell the best. We also understand that, with a fire alarm cable, you aren’t the only one at risk of faulty equipment. A faulty fire alarm can ruin lives as well as buildings, and that boils down to all of the pieces used to build the alarm. Any fire alarm cable bought from EWCSWire is going to be ready for the job and 100% functional. That’s why we’re the best for all of your wire and cable needs.

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 ...

Marine Battery & Cable Maintenance

Your boat’s battery is necessary to start the engine, power the electrical system, including lights and navigation, and much more. For boats powered by a trolling motor, it i the only power source for the vessel. Without it, you would be dead in the water. With that said, here are some high-level ways to take care of your marine battery and cables. Protect and Clean the Terminals The easiest aspect of marine battery maintenance is to keep the terminals clean. Over time, discharge will exude from the terminals, and this corrosion can damage the battery and make it difficult to establish a solid electrical connection. Use a solution of warm water and baking soda with a battery terminal brush or a steel wire brush to scrub them clean from time to time. Then, apply some dielectric grease to the terminals. A thin coating will help prevent water ingress and almost entirely prevent corrosion. Keep the Battery Charged A fully charged battery will last longer than one that is fully...

Qualities to Look for in Good 10 AWG Marine Primary Wire

Regardless of your level of experience as a mariner, you are likely to have improvements you’d like to make to your boat. Whether these improvements come in the form of a new radio, a cutting-edge fish-finder, or a more personalized control panel, each one will require some electrical work in order to bring power from your boat’s battery to the system. For this, you are likely to require at least some length of 10 AWG marine primary wire . Choosing good quality wire, however, can be difficult if you don’t know exactly what to look for. In this blog, we will help you know exactly what to look for to ensure you get the wire you need. 1. Quality Insulation When shopping for 10 AWG marine primary wire, the most important characteristic of good wire is quality insulation. With marine electrical systems, it is remarkably important that moisture, salt, and minerals are kept completely separate from the copper that makes electrical systems possible. This is achieved with mar...
