Copper armoured is specially designed electrical cables that feature an additional protective layer, commonly made of SWA or STA to provide enhanced mechanical protection. The armor is crucial for providing tensile strength during installation and for safeguarding the cable when laid in challenging environments, such as underground or in areas with potential physical stressors. Copper armoured cables are particularly versatile, finding applications in various industrial settings, including petro-chemical and pulp and paper industries. They are suitable for a range of uses, from open and concealed wiring to direct burial and usage in hazardous locations. In the realm of electrical power distribution, 6 gauge armored cable is a popular choice for the supply of mains electricity. Additionally, the armouring of these cables is often connected to earth and can sometimes serve as part of the electrical circuit, adding to their safety and functionality. This makes copper wire armoured cable cable an essential component in scenarios that demand durable, protected cabling solutions.

FAQ

It is primarily utilized for low voltage mains power distribution in harsh environments, such as underground networks and industrial sites. The Steel Wire Armour (SWA) provides superior mechanical protection against crushing and impact, while copper conductors ensure high conductivity and corrosion resistance for critical connections.
Copper is a better conductor, allowing for smaller cable diameters and simpler termination without special lugs. Aluminium is significantly lighter and cheaper but requires a larger cross-sectional area (approx. 2 sizes larger) to carry the same current. Copper is preferred for tight spaces and high-corrosion areas.
A standard 6mm² XLPE copper armored cable typically carries between 44 Amps (Direct Buried) and 53 Amps (Clipped Direct single-phase). However, actual capacity varies based on installation method and ambient temperature.
