Nowadays, flexible power cords have been widely used in drag chain motion systems, power transmission materials, signal transmission carriers, etc. This is mainly because the flexible power cord has a good copper wire structure, and its sheath has good low viscosity, which can slow down the wear rate of the power cord during continuous back and forth movement. So what should be paid attention to in the use of flexible power cord?

　　 First, the flexible power cord cannot be twisted, that is, the power cord cannot be rolled up. Instead, the power cord should be unrolled by rotating the reel or cable reel, and sometimes the power cord can be unrolled or suspended.

　　 Second, be sure to pay attention to the minimum bending radius of the power cord when installing. If this is not noticed, people may exceed the minimum bending radius during installation. Once this happens, the operating speed of the flexible power cord will be greatly reduced, and its service life will be shortened at the same time.

　　 The third is that the power cords must be arranged as separate as possible in the loose laying. General installers will use spacers to separate them, or use brackets to separate them. Generally, the gap between the power cords in the drag chain should be at least 10% of the diameter of the power cord.

　　 The power cords in the fourth drag chain cannot touch each other or be tied together by people. This is not conducive to the normal operation of the power cord, and various problems will occur.

　　 The fifth is to handle the two points of the power cord and fix them separately. The distance between the moving point of the power cord and the end of the drag chain should be twenty to thirty times its diameter.

　　 The sixth is to replace the defective power cord in time. Once the flexible power cord fails, the maintenance personnel should eliminate the cause of the failure as soon as possible, repair or replace the power cord in time to restore normal operation.

　　 The above six points are the items that must be paid attention to when using the flexible power cord, otherwise various problems will occur if you are not careful.
