Comparison of soft and hard wires:
1. For home use wires, after the flexible cord is passed through the pipe, the electrician of the wire joint in the lamp box or switch box generally cannot meet the standard specifications. According to the electrical installation standard, the flexible cord joint needs to be crimped or welded. This point indicates that the hard line is better.
2. The diameter of the flexible cord is thin, the insulating material is unreliable, and it is easily damaged by aging. Even if it is used, it is only suitable for a small amount of use where the pendant lamp and other electrical appliances are connected, and it is not suitable for use in fixed long-distance lines.
3. In terms of price, due to the obvious cost of manufacturing multiple strands, the cost is naturally high, so the price has no advantage, and the single strand is relatively cheap. A
In summary, it is obvious that the hard wire is good, but in fact, whether it is a hard wire or a soft wire, home decoration will definitely be used, as long as you remember that a single hard wire is better as the main line, of course, still look at personal ideas, as long as not Just affect life in the future.

In home improvement, is it better to use soft or hard wire for electric wires?
1. First of all, what is a hard wire and what is a soft wire?
Hard wire: a single wire of a solid metal with a diameter of more than 1 mm that can conduct electricity, and its hardness is higher than that of a flexible wire.
Flexible wire: a conductor made of stranded solid metal wires with a diameter of less than 1 mm.
2. What are their advantages and disadvantages?
Hard wire: cheap price, strong tensile strength, strong corrosion resistance, weak fatigue resistance, high scrap recovery rate.
Flexible cord: higher price, weaker tensile strength, weaker corrosion resistance, stronger fatigue resistance, and lower waste recovery rate.
In fact, in general, it is better to be a hard line. Generally, the flexible wire of the connector is burnt out. Because each copper wire of the flexible wire is too thin, it is easy to damage and oxidize, and the power distribution and heat conduction are not uniform, causing the copper wire to burn out easily. Therefore, the hard wire is relatively good in durability, and the tube is simple to wear, the price is cheap, and the installation is fast. Moreover, because the current flexible wire is a multi-wire metal, the production is relatively complicated, the cost is high, and then the price has no obvious advantage, so the hard wire is better.

The advantages and disadvantages of flexible and hard wires also determine their use and location. Generally, hard wires are used for burying walls and grounds, and are used as main wires; flexible wires are generally used for power connection wires of home appliances and equipment. There is no difference between the two who is bad, but who is suitable for which position. So you can choose hard or soft wire according to the location of the decoration.
