Advantages And Disadvantages
Advantages
- High Conductivity: This distribution of electrical power happens efficiently with the least amount of energy lost in the process.
- Compact Design: Conserves space through centralization with cables and minimizes compartmentalization of cables.
- Durability: Durable and effective for long term use that can able to be used under severe conditions.
- Ease of Installation: Reduces the degree of difficulty in the wiring process of electrical systems and their alterations.
- High Current Capacity: Capable of handling high current levels, ideal for use in demanding circuits.
Disadvantages
- Cost: However, they are relatively costly as compared to the conventional wiring techniques.
- Weight: It is generally heavier, which means it needs support to be stronger than the traditional N gauge.
- Potential for Overheating: Has the potential of overheating if not well continuously managed or if it poorly designed.
- Complexity: tomer specific designs may be challenging and may even call for sophisticated engineering techniques.
- Limited Flexibility: They can only be stretched to a limited extend and hence a bit bulky to bend in tight corners as compared to cables.
