There are a few things to consider when choosing the correct cable for electrical installations at home. The most important factor is the voltage rating of the cable, which must be suitable for the voltage of the circuit. The current rating of the cable must also be considered, as this will determine the maximum current that can be safely carried by the cable. The type of insulation on the cable must also be suitable for the intended environment and application.
To avoid overheating of the circuits, it is essential that the copper conductor is 99.99% pure and with a flexible conductor, which also facilitates its passage through conduits and connections to electrical equipment. Induscabos only uses electrolytic copper – 99.99% purity – in the manufacture of its products, it does not apply scrap material.
PVC, the material used as the electrical insulation of the cable, must be of excellent origin and specific for its application in electrical conductors, fully complying with the performance characteristics required by technical standards, avoiding short circuits and fires in electrical installations.
Another very important feature to prevent the spread of fires is that the cable is flame retardant. In this way, it cannot serve as a path for burning, which could turn a small event into a major disaster.
Also remember the convenience during installation and the ease of identification of the different cables in the installation, which require extra slippery insulation and an easy-to-read printed marking.

The energy delivery point is at the consumer pole, where the responsibility of the energy service company ends. Subsequently, it is up to the consumer to choose the appropriate electrical cables to supply power to all their electrical equipment.
DISTRIBUTION BOX
The electricity passes through the meter and goes to the general electrical panel, where it is divided into lighting circuits, power circuits (plugs), and circuits for special equipment such as showers, air conditioning, and others.
Each circuit is protected by a circuit breaker, a safety device that detects circuit overload and prevents overheating of the conductor and possible fire.
GROUND WIRE
The electrical installation must provide security against accidental contact with live parts or equipment that may be accidentally high voltage. All equipment must have their enclosures connected to the ground through the ground cable, present in the plugs of each circuit. In the event of accidental contact with energized equipment, the energy that could flow through a person’s body and cause an electrical shock is diverted to the circuit ground wire connected to the central power panel, which in turn carries the current to buried ground rods to the house’s power input, thus eliminating the hazard. The ground wire is usually indicated by the color green.
DRIVER’S CHOICE
The correct choice of the conductor section must be made based on the Paraguayan Standard NP 2 028 13 on Low Voltage Electrical Installations. The current capacity of the conductor: the current greater than that supported by the conductor will cause the insulation material to melt and consequently catch fire.
Voltage drop: When the lighting or PowerPoint is too far from the general power box of the system, the voltage drop along the path will jeopardize the proper operation of electrical equipment.
Minimum section – in lighting circuits: 1.5 mm²; Power circuits (sockets): 2.5mm²
Due to the above, the correct choice and application of the cable will guarantee the safety of people and animals, the proper functioning of the facilities, and the conservation of assets.
