SWA (Steel wire armoured) Armoured Copper/Aluminum Power Cable low voltage
Application
Cu/XLPE/PVC/SWA/PVC power cable may be used for fixed installation indoors and outdoors in cable ducts or directly in the ground. The steel wire armoured cable is the accepted standard for underground installations, designed for use in mains supply electricity. These cables are provided with mechanical protection and are therefore suitable for external use, direct burial and areas where sudden mechanical stress are expected. SWA Cable is one of our most popular cables from small projects in the garden for landscapers to large infrastructure projects.

The armoured single core cables are used for D.C. system only. As for A.C. system,non-magnetic armour material should be used, or a magnetic isolation should be applied. |
