Electrical wires typically refer to conductors consisting of one or more stranded metallic conductors (mainly copper or aluminum) encased in an insulating material (such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), etc.). Compared to the more complex structure of cables, electrical wires generally have: lower voltage ratings (primarily used in low-voltage systems such as 450/750V, 300/500V); simpler structures (generally consisting only of a conductor and an insulation layer, without complex shielding, armor, or multiple sheaths); and thinner/softer conductors (especially multi-strand flexible wires (BVR/RV), offering good flexibility).
