Aluminum conductor Armoured Electrical Cable SWA 4 Core XLPE Insulation 

 Typical Applications

✔ Underground Installation – Direct burial, cable trenches, tunnels (armor protects against soil pressure and external damage)
✔ Industrial Power Networks – Chemical plants, steel mills, mining sites (resists oil, chemicals, and abrasion)
✔ Power Distribution Systems – Buildings, substations, grid connections (XLPE ensures high current capacity)
✔ Renewable Energy Projects – Solar/Wind farms (aluminum’s lightweight reduces installation costs for long runs)
✔ Commercial Complexes – Shopping malls, hospitals (optional LSZH sheath for fire safety)

Competitive Advantages

✅ Cost-Efficient – Aluminum offers 50%+ weight savings vs. copper at lower cost
✅ Durable & Safe – XLPE + SWA ensures long-term reliability in tough conditions
✅ Easy Installation – Flexible for direct burial, ducts, or aerial (with messenger wire)
✅ Certified Performance – Meets IEC/BS/UL standards; customizable to project needs

FAQ

1. What is the difference between copper and aluminum conductors?

Copper: Higher conductivity, better durability, and more flexible, but heavier and more expensive.

Aluminum: Lighter, cheaper, and suitable for long-distance power transmission, but requires larger cross-sections for equivalent current capacity.

2. What does "XLPE insulation" mean?

XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene) is a thermosetting insulation material that provides:
✔ Higher temperature resistance (up to 90°C)
✔ Better electrical insulation & short-circuit protection
✔ Longer lifespan compared to PVC insulation

3. When should I use SWA (Steel Wire Armored) cables?

SWA cables are ideal for:
✔ Underground burial (protection against rodents, rocks, and digging)
✔ Industrial sites (resistance to mechanical stress and chemicals)
✔ Outdoor installations (UV and weather resistance)
