Here's an Article from an electrical engineer who's work I really admire. I encourage you to read it and follow him for more content if you have interest in electrical things.. Choosing the right cable for your #construction project isn’t just technical, it’s essential for safety and #performance. Whether it’s for lighting, power circuits, or HVAC systems, the right selection makes all the difference. Before installing, check and Calculate - Load current - Voltage drop (keep under 3–5%) - Cable length (longer runs need adjustments) - Ambient temperature - Installation method (buried, in conduit, or on tray?) - Short circuit capacity (can it handle faults?) - Type of load (lighting, motors, HVAC, elevators) - Applicable standards (NEC, IEC, BS 7671, or local codes) - Cable Material (Copper = performance, Aluminum = cost savings)
