SWA cable, also known as Steel Wire Armoured Cable, is a widely-used type of power cable. It is composed of insulation, conductors, steel wire armour layer and a protective sheath. SWA cable is known for its mechanical strength and resistance to chemical corrosion, making it suitable for high-performance power transmission and distribution systems.
Specifications
Rated voltage: 600/1000V
Conductor material: Copper or Aluminium
Insulation material: Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) or Cross-Linked Polyvinyl Chloride (XLPE)
Armouring material: Steel wire armour
Sheath material: Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) or Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)
Temperature range: -15°C to 90°C (PVC sheath) or -25°C to 90°C (LSZH sheath)





Applications
It is suitable to be installed indoors, in duct, tray or direct burial, with rated low voltage of U0/U (0.6/1KV) and medium voltage of U0/U (6/6KV; 6/10 KV; 8.7/10 KV; 8.7/15 KV; 26/35 KV; 26/45KV) for transmitting electricity.
XLPE insulated power cable has a number of advantages over PVC insulated cable. XLPE cable has high electric strength, mechanical strength, high-ageing resisting, environmetal stress resisting, antichemical corrossion. It can be laid with no drop restriction.
SWA cables are widely used in a range of industries, including power generation, transmission and distribution, mining, railways, and construction. They are ideal for outdoor and indoor use, particularly in harsh environments where there is exposure to moisture, chemicals or mechanical stress.
