The 5 core armoured cable functions as the primary power feed for 0.6/1kV circuits demanding distinct live, neutral, and earth connections.

The 5 core swa cable combines stranded copper conductors (Class 2), XLPE insulation for thermal stability, a steel wire armour that withstands impact and rodent attack, and a UV-stabilized PVC outer sheath suitable for direct burial or exposed outdoor runs.

It is specified for industrial power distribution, commercial building supplies, solar farm collector circuits, and any three-phase system where a separate earth is mandated—installed underground, in concrete, on cable trays, or clipped to structural steel.

FAQ

It is primarily used to supply three-phase power in systems requiring both a dedicated neutral and a separate earth conductor (TN-S earthing systems), commonly found in industrial machinery and commercial sub-mains.
A 4 core cable contains three phase conductors and one neutral. A 5 core adds a dedicated earth (green/yellow) conductor, eliminating the need for a separate earthing cable.
Yes. The steel wire armour and PVC outer sheath allow direct burial without additional conduit, provided installation follows depth and backfill requirements.
