Benefits of AWA/SWA armoured cables

Aluminium Wire Armoured (AWA) and Steel Wire Armoured (SWA) cables are engineered for power installations that demand robust mechanical protection. The armour layer provides essential reinforcement against mechanical stress, making these cables ideal for direct burial, outdoor, and underground applications where damage risk is high.

AWA/SWA armoured cables for industrial facilities

AWA/SWA armoured cables prevent induced currents while providing mechanical protection against stress, impacts, and high pulling loads. Ideal for direct burial, outdoor, and rodent-prone installations, they ensure reliable power transmission in harsh industrial environments like plants and refineries.

Industrial Facilities

AWA/SWA armoured cables prevent induced currents while providing mechanical protection against stress, impacts, and high pulling loads. Ideal for direct burial, outdoor, and rodent-prone installations, they ensure reliable power transmission in harsh industrial environments like plants and refineries.

Construction

Built for construction sites, AWA/SWA armoured cables provide essential mechanical protection against heavy loads, impacts, and rodents. Perfect for temporary power, lighting, and equipment wiring, they meet all safety standards for reliable performance in harsh environments.

Outdoor Lighting

Designed for outdoor lighting, AWA/SWA armoured cables withstand weather, UV, rodents, and impacts. Perfect for streetlights and perimeter lighting, they ensure durable, reliable power delivery while meeting all relevant international standards.

Underground Installations

Designed for direct burial, AWA/SWA armoured cables deliver rugged protection against mechanical stress, rodents, and high pulling loads. With durable aluminium/steel armour, they ensure uninterrupted power transmission in demanding environments such as industrial plants, refineries, and critical infrastructure.

Power Generation Facilities

AWA (Aluminum Wire Armored) and SWA (Steel Wire Armored) cables are engineered to deliver robust and reliable power transmission within power generation facilities. Designed to endure extreme mechanical stress, high temperatures, and corrosive environments, these cables feature a rugged steel or aluminum armor layer that provides essential mechanical protection and safeguards against rodent damage for both underground and exposed installations. This durable construction ensures an uninterrupted power supply to turbines, substations, and other critical generation infrastructure where operational reliability is paramount.

Marine Applications

AWA/SWA armoured cables provide rugged, fire-resistant power solutions for marine environments—withstanding corrosion and mechanical stress on shipboard systems and port infrastructure.

Transportation Hubs

Aluminium Wire Armour (AWA) and Steel Wire Armoured (SWA) cables deliver reliable power distribution for transportation hubs, offering robust mechanical and rodent protection for direct burial, outdoor, and underground installations. Designed for demanding environments such as airports, rail terminals, ports, and other high-demand transportation facilities, these cables ensure long-lasting performance and operational continuity.

Armoured cables FAQSArmoured cables FAQS

Steel Wire Armoured (SWA) cable features a protective metal layer that serves two key purposes: it provides shielding against electrical interference and enhances mechanical protection, including tensile and compressive strength.

Steel Wire Armoured (SWA) cables are widely used in underground systems, power distribution networks, and outdoor lighting installations. Thanks to their steel wire armour construction, these cables are ideally suited for direct burial and other high-demand environments where exceptional durability is essential.

SWA cables provide:

Durability: Hard shielding protects against wear and damage.

Performance: Ensures stable power transmission.

Strength: Advanced mechanical properties for demanding conditions.

1.Prepare the junction box.

2.Measure and cut the shielded cable to the required length.

3.Install anti-short-circuit bushings at the cable entry point of the junction box.

4.Terminate the cable by attaching the connector.

5.Secure the connector to the junction box to complete the wiring.

Armoured cables are engineered for challenging environments, offering resistance to impact, abrasion, rodents, water, and high temperatures. This makes them a reliable choice for industrial, commercial, and outdoor installations.

While cable armouring typically reduces flexibility, Top Cable’s armoured cables feature a flexible Class 5 conductor. This design ensures easy installation even in complex and demanding layouts.

Yes, armoured cables are available in different types for specific applications:

Steel/Aluminium Wire Armoured (SWA/AWA) Cables: For underground and mechanically demanding environments, ideal for power distribution.

Armoured Flexible Cables: Designed for machinery and portable equipment requiring flexibility.

LSZH Armoured Cables: Low smoke zero halogen for public buildings and transport systems where safety is critical.

Each type is engineered to meet specific environmental, mechanical, and safety requirements.
