Wiring systems in a single family home or flat, for example, are simple,
with relatively low power requirements.

Fig.1 PVC insulated wire or cable with three pvc insulated conductors.
Aluminium conductors are still used for bulk power distribution and large
feeder circuits, because they cost less than copper wiring, and weigh
less, especially in the large sizes needed for heavy current loads.
Aluminium conductors must be installed with compatible connectors.

Cable trays
Wiring in exposed areas, for example factory floors, may be run in cable
trays or rectangular raceways having lids.
Cable trays are used in industrial areas where many insulated cables
are run together. Individual cables can exit the tray at any point,
simplifying the wiring installation and reducing the labour cost for
installing new cables. Power cables may have fittings in the tray to
maintain clearance between the conductors, but small control wiring is
often installed without any intentional spacing between cables.
Special sealed fittings are used for wiring routed through potentially
explosive atmospheres.
