2 core 50 mm² SWA armoured cable are manufactured with several different layers and elements. The main components of 2 core 50 mm² armoured cable is the:
(1).Conductor:The conductor is usually several cores of plain stranded copper.
(2).Insulation:The Insulation is used to protect the conductors from any water damage, especially if the cable is buried underground. It also offers a barricade between the conductors and the other metal components, including the armour.
(3).Bedding:The PVC bedding serves as a buffer between the inner live component of the cable and the outer components.
(4).Steel Wire Armour:The Steel Wire Armour itself is placed over the bedding, providing the cable protection from stress. Sometimes, the armour can be used as the earth cable.
(5).Cable sheathing:The cable sheath is used to protect the inner components of the cable and supplies more protection from mechanical harm and stress.
2 core 50 mm² SWA armoured cable have many advantages in applications as follows:
armoured cable has added protective armour can withstand stronger mechanical forces and prevent damage from external forces that helps protect the cable core. This is important in places where there could be accidental damage to the cable due to mechanical stress or impact.
To put it in context, typically, armoured cables would be used when you require the cable to be buried directly underground for outdoor installation or in tunnels. There may be instances where the ground is opened up again, and in the process, a spade or mechanical excavator may hit the buried cable by accident. In this case, the armour would help protect the cable conductor core from being exposed easily and prevent electric shocks and interruptions in power delivery.

The purpose of 2 core 50 mm² SWA armoured cable is to increase 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 effect, resisting low-frequency interference.It is a special cable designed for the area which is vulnerable to mechanical damage and erosion.Steel wire armored cable is made of tough steel wire conductor mounted with an insulation layer.
Steel wire armoured cable is mainly used in engineering, metallurgy, machinery manufacturing, construction and so on. 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 ability, which is suitable for the bad environment, and the steel wire to protect the conductor and insulation.
2 core 50 mm² SWA armoured cable have many applications, as follows:
1. Underground Installations: 2 core 50 mm² armoured cable are commonly used for underground installations due to their ability to withstand the harsh conditions found in soil. They provide excellent protection against moisture, chemicals, and physical damage, making them ideal for applications such as underground power distribution, street lighting, and residential wiring.
2. Outdoor Lighting: In outdoor lighting systems, 2 core armoured cables offer exceptional durability and weather resistance. Whether it’s for garden lighting, pathway illumination, or security lighting, armoured cables ensure reliable power supply while safeguarding against environmental factors like rain, UV radiation, and temperature fluctuations.
3. Industrial and Construction Sites: Industrial and construction environments often involve heavy machinery, equipment, and rigorous operations. Armoured cables are extensively used in these settings to ensure the safe and uninterrupted supply of electricity. They are capable of withstanding high mechanical stress, making them suitable for power distribution in factories, warehouses, construction sites, and other demanding industrial applications.
4. Power Distribution Networks: Armoured cables play a crucial role in power distribution networks, both indoors and outdoors. They are frequently employed in substations, transformer stations, and electrical panels to transmit electricity over long distances. Armoured cables provide protection against accidental damage, which is essential for maintaining uninterrupted power supply to residential, commercial, and industrial areas.
5. Hazardous Locations: Certain environments, such as chemical plants, oil refineries, and mines, present hazardous conditions due to the presence of flammable substances or explosive atmospheres. Armoured cables with specific certifications, such as flame-retardant or explosion-proof properties, are used to mitigate the risk of electrical incidents in these settings. These cables are designed to contain any potential sparks or heat generated, ensuring the safety of personnel and property.
2 core 50 mm² SWA armoured cable provide adequate protection and durability in the absence of conduits. In most cases, people are forced to use conduits in areas prone to external risks such as corrosion and cable abrasion. Thus, it is correct to say that an armored cable is suitable for use in hazard-prone areas.
A standard electrical cable is most likely to incur irreparable damage in areas exposed to moisture. A metal coated wire is suitable for such an environment because it can withstand moisture exposure. Generally, it is advisable to use armor-clad cables in hazardous locations, including beneath stairwells, barns, and basements, to name a few.
These armoured cables can guarantee maximum safety and durability, provided you choose the right type of cable. For high voltage applications, it would be best to go for an XLPE armored cable. It is also essential to remember that wires have varying current-carrying capacities depending on different factors including, their size, number of cores, and length. For example, a 2 core 50 mm² SWA armoured with XLPE insulation can transmit up to 1000 volts. The same cannot be said about other variations of armor-glad electrical wires.
