5 core 120 mm² SWA armoured cable commonly referred to as SWA cable, the steel wire armoured cable is a power and complementary control cable, designed for use in mains offer electricity. The external susceptible force to cables are rodents, and unintentional impacts.The armoured cable has an additional protective layer to maintain it far from undesirable cut or damage. The armour made of aluminium wires placed under the sheath to protect the conductor, and insulate the layers.or strings that protect the conductors from external forces. It also avoids any internal abnormalities from causing the release of dangerous energy levels to the outside in environments.
The 5 core SWA cable can also be described to mains cable, power cable, armoured cable and booklet-armoured cable. With copper wiring creating the perfect conductors for the core with a range of types for example, 3 core, 4 core and 5 core SWA Cables to name a few.
Due to above 5 core 120 mm² SWA armoured cable’s structure,which has many advantages,as follow:
1. Flexibility and Adaptability
Another unique advantage of armoured cable glands is their versatility. They are available in various sizes and configurations, allowing for compatibility with a wide range of cable types and diameters. This adaptability is vital in circumstances where different cables need to be connected, guaranteeing a seamless and secure fit.
2. Mechanical Protection
The main advantage of armoured cables is their outstanding mechanical protection. The steel wire or tape surrounding the conductors provides resistance against effect, compression, and scratching. This shielding guarantees the cables can endure rough handling during setup or in high-traffic areas.
3. Enhanced Safety Standards
Safety is vital in any electrical installation, and armoured cable glands play a critical role in upholding these standards. Their robust design guarantees that cables remain securely connected, decreasing the risk of accidental disconnection or exposure. Furthermore, many armoured cable glands are equipped with features such as locking mechanisms and strain relief, further enhancing safety.

5 core 120 mm² SWA armoured cable’s outer layer has a tough structure that effectively shields the conductor from outside damage. In harsh environments, it is frequently used as a form of burial. It is resistant to corrosion dued to acid rain and animal bites and has high security efficiency, stability, and dependability.
Cross-linked cables use cross-linked polythene for the outer insulating layer of the cable conductor, whereas armouring describes wrapping the outer protective level of the cable with steel tape or steel wire to safeguard it from issue by external mechanical forces. It is possible to use an armoured XLPE cable, which has an armoured outer layer and is insulated with a cross-linked material.
Due to above 5 core 120 mm² SWA armoured cable’s Feature,which has many applications,as follow:
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 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 120 mm² 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.
When laying an 5 core 120 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.It is a fact that BS standards do not state a single minimum depth, which is why it is necessary to ensure that the armoured electric 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 armoured electrical 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.In the case of an 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.
