240mm 4 Core Steel Wire Armoured SWA Cable

This is a 4-core, 240mm² steel wire armoured (SWA) cable designed for low-voltage power transmission rated at 0.6/1kV. It consists of four insulated copper conductors, each with a cross-sectional area of 240mm², protected by a steel wire armour that provides high mechanical strength, durability, and resistance to physical damage. This type of cable is ideal for heavy-duty applications such as industrial power distribution, underground wiring, and outdoor installations where robust mechanical protection and high current capacity are essential for safe and reliable operation.

240mm 4 Core Steel Wire Armoured SWA Cable Application

240mm 4 Core Steel Wire Armoured SWA Cable made up of a black PVC sheath, XLPE insulation, copper conductors and steel wire armouring. This type of cable is designed for mains electricity in various applications, including laying underground, power networks, incoming mains to homes amongst a host of other uses externally and internally.

240mm 4 Core Steel Wire Armoured SWA Cable is suitable and often used for direct burial, with the steel wire armouring providing further protection from external damaged. The XLPE insulation is resistant to a number of different fluids, chemicals and has good heat stability, as well as being UV Resistant.
