Cables and wires are often ignored as they may not have instant visibility to everyone. However, they need proper care at the time of installation and during operation.

 

Here are some basic guidelines on proper cable and wire maintenance to ensure that they perform at their optimum level.

 

Preventive Measures:

 

1. Any type of crushing or impact on cable covering must be prevented.
