The common structure of 2 core 10 mm² SWA armoured cable can be broken down as follows:
· Conductor: includes plain stranded copper (cables are categorized to suggest the degree of flexibility. Class 2 describes stiff stranded copper conductors as stipulated by British Standard BS EN 60228:2005).
· Insulation: Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) is used in a variety of power cables because it has good water resistance and excellent electrical properties. Insulation in cables guarantees that conductors and other metal substances do not enter into contact with each other.
· Bedding: Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) bedding is used to supply a defensive border between inner and outer layers of the cable.
· Armour: Steel wire armour provides mechanical protection, which implies the cable can stand up to higher tensions, be buried directly and used in external or underground projects.The armouring is normally connected to earth and can sometimes be used as the circuit protective conductor (“earth wire”) for the equipment supplied by cable.
· Sheath: a black PVC sheath holds all elements of the cable together and provides additional protection from external stresses.
The PVC version of 2 core 10 mm² SWA cable described above, satisfies the requirements of both British Standard BS5467 and International Electrotechnical Commission standard IEC 60502. It is known as SWA BS5467 Cable and it has a voltage rating of 600/1000V.

The purpose of 2 core 10 mm² SWA armoured cable is to enhance the cable’s mechanical strength and improve the anti-erosion ability. The commonly used armor materials are steel tape, steel wire, and aluminum tape. The steel tape and steel wire armor layer have high permeability and an excellent magnetic shielding impact, resisting low-frequency obstruction.It is a special cable designed for the area which is prone to mechanical damage and erosion.
2 core 10 mm² SWA armoured cable is made of difficult steel wire conductor placed with an insulation layer. Steel wire armoured cable is generally used in engineering, metallurgy, machinery manufacturing, construction and more. The mechanical protection layer of the armoured cable can be added to any structure of the cable to increase the mechanical strength of the cable and improve the anti-erosion chance, which appropriates for the bad environment, and the steel wire to protect the conductor and insulation.
There are many applications of 2 core 10 mm² SWA armoured cable, such as:
The steel protection protects these cables in applications that demand great mechanical strength. For this reason, they are the favored option for mobile laying, aggressive environments, and the presence of rodents.
The typical applications of 2 core 10 mm² SWA armoured cable are in electrical installations in dangerous and complicated locations.Most importantly, since the armoured shield protects well the cable, they are used for constant electrical wiring, thus reducing the danger of power loss.The armoured cables are heavy, stiff and inflexible. For this reason, they usually used straight and for underground laying.Moreover, these cables are used in environments where possible disturbances from debris could be a potential problem.
To conclude, these are the most widely adopted uses manufacturing industry construction and railway sites power plants underground cabling.
When laying 2 core 10 mm² SWA armoured cable underground, the armoured electrical cable must be set out at an enough depth to prevent any prospective harm or disruption. It is better to consider enhancing the depth of direct burial underground or provide additional defense for the armoured cable to ensure security.
(1)It is a fact that BS standards do not state a single minimum depth, which is why it is necessary to ensure that the 2 core 10 mm² SWA armoured cable will not be influenced by common activity.A minimum installation depth that’s followed by all experts is 450mm underground. This depth increases to 600mm for armoured cables in locations where there is a higher possibility for any potential disturbance.If the 2 core 10 mm² armoured cable is installed directly into the ground, the cable should be bordered by sharp sand to ensure it is protected against any damage to the sheath or insulation. Another precaution that can be taken is the use of electrical warning tape– this can be placed above the sand to suggest that there is an armoured electrical cable present below.
(2)In the case of 2 core 10 mm² armoured cable being installed within a pipeline, it is essential to ensure that it is completely watertight to prevent access of any kind.The armoured mains cable should also be earthed despite whether the armouring is being used as a protective conductor or not. What this does is make certain that the automation disconnection of supply (ADS) requirements are adhered to.Overlooking this may cause problems in the long run because an armoured cable that is not correctly earthed can become a dangerous security danger to users.
