3 Core Armoured Cable Copper Cu/XLPE/PVC/SWA/PVC BS5467 0.6/1kV

3 Core SWA (Steel Wire Armoured) cables are robust power cables designed for low-voltage electrical distribution. They feature XLPE insulation, PVC sheathing, and a steel wire armour layer that provides excellent mechanical protection. Suitable for underground or exposed installations, this cable is widely used in industrial, commercial, and infrastructure projects, where durability, fire resistance, and chemical stability are critical.

3 Core SWA (Steel Wire Armoured) cables are robust power cables designed for low-voltage electrical distribution. They feature XLPE insulation, PVC sheathing, and a steel wire armour layer that provides excellent mechanical protection. Suitable for underground or exposed installations, this cable is widely used in industrial, commercial, and infrastructure projects, where durability, fire resistance, and chemical stability are critical.

Application

This cable is ideal for the transmission and distribution of electricity in low-voltage installation systems. It can be installed:

  • Indoors or outdoors

  • In cable trays, ducts, or directly buried underground

  • In power stations, switching stations, industrial plants, or local energy distribution systems

  • Environments requiring mechanical strength and protection, without risk of severe mechanical stress

Note: Lead sheath version available for enhanced resistance to aromatic hydrocarbons in contaminated or oil-exposed environments.

Standards

  • IEC 60502-1

  • BS 5467

  • BS 6346
