Answer / subhan
Power cabble is the one to which loac is connected.Whereas
control cable is used to pass the command.
EX: To switch on the heavy motor we need to press the push
button.i.e.,the command passes through the control cable to
the contactor where power cables are connected.As soon as
the command reaches the contactor it gets switched on
allowing the motor to run.

Answer / mukund
1)power cable is designed to carry high current up to load
such as motor or any machine also has insulation and
sometimes armouring for electrical and mechanical
protection.
2)control cable can be used in two types
1. which carry small current to load such as contactor to
trip
2. which carry control signal such as data cable and it is
sheathed one.

Answer / kensville kalu
Power cable are used or designed for power transmission
while control cable are used or designed for signal or data
transmission.The rate of heat loss in control cable is very
low to that of power cable.

Answer / sanjay kumar
power cable be uses for main infeed ckt. of the equipment,
flow more power and having higher sizes up to 600sqmm.
whereas control cable uses for control ckt. of the
equipment, flow less power and having smaller sizes up to
4sqmm.
both cable are used for ac or dc
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 9 Yes | 9 No |
Answer / minal
power cable carries high current. They provide power. They
are ac operated only.
whereas control cables are used to carry control signals of
low power strength.they are ac as well as dc operated.
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 12 Yes | 14 No |
Answer / minal
power cable is used to carry high voltage ac currents
whereascontrol cables are used to carry small dc voltages.
Power cables can carry noise also but control cables are
twisted and doesnot carry noise.
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 11 Yes | 15 No |
Answer / sunil kumar
Differecen between Power & Control Cables are:
1. Power Cables have Odd Nos. of Cores where as Control
cables has even no. of cores.
2. Power Cable can vary from 1.5mmSq to 250mmSq. but most
of the Control cable can vary from 1mmSq to 4mmSq.
4. Power Cable can carry more current where as Control
cables can carry AC DC current upto 4Amp.

Why we use three phase world wide why not four phase or five phase being used?
what is derated current of power cable & what is formule to find derated current?
sir what is the purpose of SF6 in HT breaker and what is the pressure should be maintain in the breaker?
i have a Connected Load of 280KW and Maximum Demand of 224KW to one of SMDB under design with me. which criteria should i consider to design panel and main cables connected Load or Maximum Demand 1)Breaker rating 2)Panel Busbar rating 2)Incommer cable sizing (ignore Voltage drop)
Why slip-ring and brushes are not required in squirrel cage induction motor?
It is a three inch fan and i want it to rotate to other direction .I've tried cutting the wire and reconnecting them inverse like black to white and white to black ,but it won't start rotating when i plug it in that way.And then it works again when i rejoin the wire to the way it is. I don't know what causing the problem.Is there anyone familiar with these small mortor?Any suggestion would be appreciated.Thanks!! http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm163/sasukebloodwheel/110527-105859.jpg
how you will decide the distance between the power transformer and its fencing
for high freq ac,why we first convert AC to DC and then DC to high freq.AC
In our generating power station we get electric shock in the battery bank, what will be the reason?
WHY BREAKER ARE USED IN SUBSTATIONS?
In Indian Railways , how the AC motor is driven? Please explain clearly starting from the overhead 25kV supply.
is electrons really flow or they just vibrate at their position?
