Our 50mm 5 Core Steel Wire Armoured (SWA) Cable is a robust and highly protected low-voltage power cable designed for the most demanding power distribution applications. Featuring five large 50mm² conductors and a formidable steel wire armour, this cable is the ideal choice for environments requiring maximum mechanical protection and reliable, multi-phase power supply.
Key Features:
- Core Configuration: Features five (5) 50mm² cores, making it perfect for 3-phase power systems with neutral and earth, or other applications requiring multiple circuits.
- Rated Voltage: Engineered for low-voltage power distribution up to 0.6/1kV (600/1000 Volts).
- Premium Conductor Options: Available with high-purity Copper conductors for superior conductivity and efficiency, or cost-effective Aluminum conductors for larger installations.
- XLPE Insulation: Each individual conductor is insulated with Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE). XLPE offers excellent thermal stability, high dielectric strength, and an increased current-carrying capacity, ensuring long-term performance and safety.
- Steel Wire Armour (SWA): The defining feature, a robust layer of galvanized steel wires, provides exceptional mechanical protection against crushing, impact, and stress. This makes the cable highly suitable for direct burial, outdoor installation, and industrial environments.
- Versatile Oversheath Options:
- PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): A durable and widely used outer sheath, offering good resistance to moisture, abrasion, and various chemicals.
- LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen): A critical choice for public spaces, tunnels, and sensitive areas, as it significantly reduces the emission of smoke and toxic fumes in the event of a fire.
Applications:
The 50mm 5 Core SWA Cable is an indispensable component for a diverse range of heavy-duty power installations, including:
- Main Power Distribution: Ideal as a primary feeder cable for buildings, industrial complexes, and commercial sites.
- Industrial and Manufacturing Plants: Supplying power to heavy machinery, motors, and production lines.
- Underground Installations: Its robust SWA makes it perfect for direct burial applications without the need for additional conduit in many cases.
- Outdoor and External Works: Suitable for street lighting circuits, outdoor power supplies, and agricultural applications.
- Commercial and Public Sector Projects: Hospitals, schools, data centers, and other critical infrastructure where robust power supply and safety are paramount.
- Renewable Energy Installations: Connecting solar farms, wind turbines, or battery storage to the grid or local distribution.
