Wire and Cables

Product Details:

Armoured cable is the name given to any electrical cable constructed with a layer of aluminium wire armour or steal wire armour. The armour sits below the sheath of the cable to provide protection for the conductor and insulating layers. When electrical cable is required for outside use or in direct burial projects, it must have mechanical protection. Aluminium wire armour or AWA, and steel wire armour or SWA provide such protection as well as enabling the cable to withstand higher pulling loads. AWA and SWA are used in the power cables.

SWA:

• Steel Wire/strip Armoured Cable or SWA Cable is a hard-wearing mains electricity cable with class 2 stranded copper conductors, XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene) insulation, PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) bedding, aluminium or steel wire armour and a black PVC sheath. The voltage rating of an SWA Cable is 600/1000V.

AWA:

• Aluminium Wire/strip Armoured Cable or AWA Cable is a hard-wearing mains electricity cable with class 2 stranded Aluminium conductors, XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene) insulation, PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) bedding, aluminium or steel wire armour and a black PVC sheath. The voltage rating of an SWA Cable is 600/1000V.

Product Details:

XLPE insulated heavy duty cables were introduced worldwide in mid sixties. These cables have overcome the limitations of PVC Insulated Cables such as thermal degradation, poor moisture resistance and thermoplastic nature.

A. Technical Advantages:

• Higher current rating, higher short circuit rating approx. 1.2 times that of PVC.
• Thermosetting in nature.
• Higher insulated resistance 1000 times more than PVC cables.
• Higher resistance to moisture.
• Better resistance to surge currents.
• Low dielectric losses.
• Better resistance to chemicals.
• Longer service life.
• Comparatively higher cable operation temperature 90 C and short circuit temperature 250 C

B. Commercial Advantages:

• Lower laying cost because of comparatively smaller diameter of cable and higher weight*.
• Lower installation charges as the diameter of cable is comparatively lesser with smaller bending radius, requiring less space requirement for laying cables.
• **One size lower cable can be used as compared to PVC insulated cable.

The FR properties with high Oxygen and temperature index help in restricting propagation of fire at high temperatures. The insulation is carried out on state-of-the-art high speed double extrusion lines with self centering cross head. Automatic diameter controllers ensures precision centering and perfect concentric insulation. The skin insulation determines the colour identification while the inner layer is pure insulation free from any impurities. The high quality tooling ensures smooth insulation.
• Online spark testers ensure fail proof high voltage test by employing non destructive form of testing at six times the rated voltage ensuring consistent application of voltage throughout the length of the cable.

Product Details:

The most acceptable metals for conductors are copper and aluminium due to their higher conductivity and ductility.

As copper has got higher affinity for sulphur, it corrodes in the atmosphere where sulphur fumes are present. In these conditions tinned copper should be used. Aluminium oxide film which is always present on Aluminium conductor surface acts as barrier and it protects the Aluminium conductor from corrosion in fumes laden atmosphere.
