Ignition cables are used in self ignition part of automobiles. The ignition cables have good electrical properties and can endure high temperatures which are engendered while car is working. The ignition cable plays vital role in providing a conduit between coils and spark plugs. Since ignition cable connects many coils and spark plugs to produce internal combustion therefore it is important for the cables to have capacity to withhold high electrical voltages. Usually electrical voltages of few kilo volts surges through the cables with few millimeters thick cores. It is imperative for the ignition cable suppliers and manufactures to ensure that cables have good insulation covering,, if it is not present then there is possibility of short circuit of the engine leading to fire eruption and potential casualty.
Ignition cable suppliers are available throughout the world and are generally whole sellers and retailers. The ignition cables are produce in bulk by car manufacturers and have general specification of the ignition cable, i.e. the dimensions of the cables, electrical resistance of the wires, quality of insulating wires etc. The materials used as conduction materials are Declore, stainless steel and copper. It is important for the conducting material to have low resistance, can withstand high temperature without deforming shape and rust occurs in them over a long period of time. Copper and steel are good electrical conductors, with low electrical resistance and do not rust quickly, that is the reason in domestic application there is ubiquitous use of copper wires, on the other hand stainless steel is expensive and cannot be used in homes at large scale .
It is imperative for the ignition cable suppliers to check the quality of conducting material and insulating material of the cables to ensure safety of users and of engine.
