Failure to select the proper wire gauge will result in electrical equipment operating erratically, causing a loss of power to the cord, and reducing its life. In addition to various problems that it can cause such as voltage variations, power cuts, short circuits, fire risk, etc. The rigidity or flexibility of the cable depends on the number of copper wires that compose it. In this way, cables with a single thick strand are stiffer than if they have several strands. The electrician’s job is to know how to identify which cable is appropriate for each type of electrical installation.
