In recent years, China's wire and cable industry has developed rapidly. As far as the total industrial output value is concerned, during the “10th Five-Year Plan†period, the wire and cable industry is the second largest industry in China after the auto industry. In the world, China's total output value of wire and cable has surpassed Japan only after the United States, becoming the world’s second largest wire and cable producer. The wire and cable industry's broad market prospects and potential for unlimited market are evident. However, under the background of rapid development, what has become increasingly prominent is a serious topic that concerns the people's lives, property, and the people's livelihood of the country - the fire caused by wire and cable.
In 2010, several major fire incidents filled the headlines of information news. When the fire protection industry and relevant authorities reflected on them and took corresponding measures, the wire and cable industry, which is the lifeline of building electrical safety, appeared to be facing more severe problems. Tested and more embarrassing situation. On the other hand, in recent fire incidents, the fire disaster caused by the aging of electric wires and cables and the hidden dangers of inferior cables accounted for a large proportion. In the second half of 2010 alone, there have been a number of alarming fire incidents, among which are the tragic events caused by cables:
On July 17, 2010, a cable fire broke out in the Xiaonangou Coal Mine in Sangshuping Town, Hancheng City, Shaanxi Province, causing fires such as wooden fences, causing the asphyxiation of 28 miners in operation.
On August 6, 2010, a cable accident occurred at Luoshan Gold Mine, a mining company in Zhaoyuan City, Shandong Province. Despite all efforts to rescue, the accident still caused the death of the 16 miners working underground at that time.
On August 28, 2010, the sand tray circuit on the first floor of the sales office of the Tiexi Wanda Plaza in Shenyang was out of order. The circuit caught fire and caused 9 fires and 9 people were injured.
At about 10:00 on the morning of December 11, 2010, a cable inside a strong electric well in the district of 365 Lane, Zhao'an Road, Putuo District suddenly caught fire and smoke thickened. An old 70-year-old couple living on the sixth floor was trapped at home. Heavy smoke wounds.
At 20 o'clock on December 14, 2010, a cable suspended in the sky in a residential area of ​​Xiagou Village, Ganjingzi Street, Dalian City, Liaoning Province, was suddenly "shot off." The sparks generated after the break caused ignition of the firewood piled up by the residents outdoors. Dalian Fire Brigade dispatched 5 fire extinguishing vehicles and extinguished the fire in nearly 50 minutes. The accident led to the interruption of electricity in more than 40 households in the village.
These tragedies undoubtedly sounded the alarm for our wire and cable industry. The fire accidents caused by circuit disconnection and cable aging are inseparably related to the quality of wire and cable.
Wire and cable market is in urgent need of rectification
Looking back at the current status of domestic wire and cable production, it is not difficult to find many small workshop-type companies that do not have the necessary capabilities such as production capacity and quality control and testing, which leads to an out of control of the scale of production investment in the entire industry and the phenomenon of low-level redundant construction. . Due to the low concentration, coupled with the high prices of raw materials such as copper, aluminum, and plastics, especially the rising prices of copper, rising energy prices, transportation costs, and human resource costs have further increased the company’s production costs. The increase in operating costs, the phenomenon of counterfeiting and counterfeiting and cutting of materials have been banned for many times. What comes with it is the more serious consequence - vicious competition. The decentralization and disorder of the entire industry have made it more difficult to supervise. Many informal small factories reduce production costs by means of sub-consummation or structural reduction of cross-sections, and deliberately drive down prices. This has led to many enterprises that are legally produced. Dealers are struggling. The vicious price competition has also spawned a vicious cycle, causing the entire industry to become increasingly chaotic. More importantly, the proliferation and use of poor quality wire and cable have placed a huge safety risk on residents' lives and property. The poor quality wire and cable is like a "fire line", which seriously threatens the normal operation of the power system and the personal and property safety of residents.
As mentioned before, the wire and cable industry has a vast market with unlimited development potential and potential. Such a chaotic situation will inevitably affect the development prospects of the entire industry and the future of sustainable development. The industry believes that according to the actual experience of foreign industry development and other industry practices and lessons learned, China's wire and cable industry is in urgent need of integrating large-scale production capacity, carrying out industrial agglomeration in certain regions and encouraging enterprises to implement product differentiation, technological innovation and brand strategy.
Faced with the disorderly management and vicious competition in the domestic wire and cable market, many enterprises hope that the entire industry can develop rationally and healthily, not only as a member of the industry, but also as the guardian of the “lifeline†of residents in society. Accelerate the integration and supervision of the entire industry, increase the research of wire and cable production technology, and ensure the safety of people's lives and property. China's wire and cable industry has a long way to go.
