About Aluminium Armoured Cable

Aluminium armoured cable is a robust power cable featuring aluminium conductors protected by a metallic layertypically aluminium wire armour (AWA) for single-core or galvanized steel wire armour (SWA) for multi-core. It is designed for low-to-medium voltage (up to 1.1kV) subterranean, outdoor, or heavy-duty industrial power distribution. These cables provide excellent mechanical protection, resisting impact, moisture, chemicals, and UV damage while remaining lighter and more cost-effective than copper alternatives.

Superior Chemical and Fire Resistance

This aluminium armoured cable is specifically designed for challenging environments. Its highly resistant PVC outer sheath shields against oils, acids, and alkalis, while advanced fire retardant properties meet rigorous fire resistance standards. When reliability under extreme conditions matters most, this cable adapts and protects.

Engineered for Maximum Safety and Longevity

Robust mechanical protection is delivered through galvanized steel wire armour, providing high tensile strength and resistance to corrosion. The cable features UV stabilization and low water absorption, ensuring long-term performance indoors or outdoors with minimal maintenance-even under direct sunlight or moist conditions.

Versatile Applications and Flexible Installation

Suited for a wide range of power distribution tasks, this cable comes in customizable lengths and multiple core options, supporting both residential substations and major industrial facilities. Its minimum bending radius and flexible manufacturing process allow for straightforward installation in unknown terrains, ducts, or direct burial situations.

FAQ's of Aluminium Armoured Cable:

Q: How does this aluminium armoured cable resist chemicals and moisture?

A: The cable utilizes a UV-stabilized PVC outer sheath that is formulated to be highly resistant to oils, acids, alkalis, and moisture. This design ensures that the cable maintains integrity in harsh chemical environments and absorbs minimal water, making it ideal for underground or industrial applications.

Q: What fire safety and operational standards does the cable meet?

A: This cable complies with IS 7098 and IEC 60502, ensuring it is fire retardant and can operate reliably at temperatures from -20C to 70C. It also sustains short circuit temperatures up to 250C for brief periods, offering enhanced safety in the event of electrical faults.

Q: When should I use steel wire armour (SWA) in my installation?

A: Steel wire armour is recommended for installations requiring extra mechanical protection, such as underground cabling or areas susceptible to physical impacts. It delivers high tensile strength, resisting stress and deformation, and is suitable for both direct burial and duct applications.

Q: Where can the aluminium armoured cable be installed?

A: This cable is versatile enough for indoor and outdoor use, suitable for underground, duct, and overhead installations. Its UV-protected sheath and moisture resistance make it ideal for substation, industrial, and commercial wiring, even in exposed environments.

Q: What is the manufacturing process for this cable?

A: The aluminium armoured cable is produced using extrusion for insulation and sheathing, and stranding for the conductors. Steel wire armouring is then applied for mechanical reinforcement, followed by final outer sheathing for environmental protection.

Q: How does the cable benefit power distribution systems?

A: With a current carrying capacity of up to 400A and robust construction, this cable ensures reliable energy transmission with low electrical losses. Its multiple protective features minimize downtime and maintenance, supporting uninterrupted operations in mission-critical installations.

Q: What are the customization options for length, cores, and connectors?

A: The cable is available in standard lengths of 100 or 500 meters, with customization possible as per project requirements. It comes in 2 to 5 core configurations, with varying sizes and connector specifications to match different voltage and installation needs.
