Our 25mm 2 Core Steel Wire Armoured (SWA) Cable is a heavy-duty, low-voltage power cable designed for applications where mechanical protection and reliable power transmission are paramount. With a robust steel wire armour and durable insulation, this cable is ideally suited for underground installation, outdoor use, and environments where it may be subject to impact or stress.
Key Features:
- Core Configuration: 2-core design, featuring two 25mm² conductors.
- Rated Voltage: Suitable for low-voltage applications up to 0.6/1kV (600/1000 Volts).
- Conductor Material Options: Available with high-conductivity Copper or cost-effective Aluminum conductors to suit your project's specific needs.
- XLPE Insulation: Each conductor is insulated with Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE), offering excellent dielectric strength, superior thermal resistance, and a higher current-carrying capacity compared to PVC insulation.
- Steel Wire Armour (SWA): A robust layer of galvanized steel wires provides outstanding mechanical protection against crushing, impact, and stress, making it ideal for direct burial and exposed installations.
- Durable Oversheath Options:
- PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): A common and versatile outer sheath, offering good resistance to moisture, abrasion, and chemicals.
- LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen): An environmentally friendly option that emits very little smoke and no toxic halogens in the event of a fire, crucial for public buildings and sensitive environments.
Applications:
The 25mm 2 Core SWA Cable is a versatile and reliable choice for a wide range of power distribution applications, including:
- Underground power networks: Ideal for direct burial due to its mechanical protection.
- Outdoor lighting circuits: Street lights, car park lighting, etc.
- Industrial power distribution: Supplying power to machinery, pumps, and other equipment in factories and plants.
- Commercial buildings: Providing power to various systems within large commercial structures.
- Public infrastructure projects: Tunnels, railways, and other demanding environments.
- Power for outbuildings: Garages, sheds, and workshops.
