5 core 16 mm² SWA armoured cable, also referred to as SWA or Armoured Cable, are multi-core power cables which have a layer of steel wire armour. The armour offers mechanical protection enabling the cable to stand up to higher stresses, be buried directly, and can be used in internal, external and underground projects. It is mainly used for industrial wiring and mains distribution.Cables are manufactured with several different layers and elements. The main components of 5 core 16 mm² SWA armoured cable is the:
Conductor. The conductor is usually several cores of plain stranded copper.
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.
Bedding. The PVC bedding serves as a buffer between the inner live component of the cable and the outer components.
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.
Cable sheathing. The cable sheath is used to protect the inner components of the cable and supplies more protection from mechanical harm and stress.
Due to above 5 core 16 mm² SWA armoured cable’s structure,which has many advantages,as follow:
1. Prevents electrical interference — Electrical interference can disrupt the flow of existing, but this cable is designed to avoid that. It makes sure a stable flow of electricity.
2. Boosts safety from fires — Safety is another vital feature. The cable’s design helps to stop fires from distribution, keeping buildings and people safer.
3. Supports heavy load capacity — Lastly, due to its robust construction, it can support heavy loads. It’s ideal for high-demand applications where regular cables might fail.

The purpose of 5 core 16 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.Steel wire armored cable is made of difficult steel wire conductor placed with an insulation layer.
5 core 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.
Due to above 5 core 16 mm² SWA armoured cable’s Feature,,which has many applications,as follow:
1. Renewable Energy Projects
Armoured cable play a crucial role in connecting renewable resource sources to the power grid. Whether it’s a solar farm or a wind energy project, these cables offer the necessary infrastructure to transfer the produced electricity efficiently and securely.
2. Mining Operations
In mining operations, where the environment can be harsh and unforeseeable, armoured electrical cables excel. They are developed to withstand the rugged conditions of mining sites, providing a reliable power supply for machinery and lighting in underground and surface mining operations.
3. Commercial Buildings
Armoured cable are commonly employed in commercial buildings for their ability to provide a secure and reliable power distribution network. From office complexes to shopping malls, these cables guarantee a consistent power supply, contributing to the smooth functioning of various electrical systems.
4. Data Centers
The crucial nature of data centers demands reliable power infrastructure. Armoured electrical cables offer the durability and protection needed to preserve uninterrupted power supply, safeguarding the integrity of data storage and processing systems.
Managing and setting up 5 core 16 mm² SWA armoured cables require a level of caution to uphold safety. Prior to setup, guarantee the cable is suitable for its intended use, considering factors like the environment, the nature of the application, and the cable’s rated temperature and voltage.
When laying an 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.
A standard electrical cable is probably to incur irreversible damage in areas exposed to moisture. A metal coated wire is suitable for such an environment because it can endure moisture exposure. Generally, it is advisable to use armor-clad cables in dangerous locations, including beneath stairwells, barns, and basements, to name a few.
