Built with galvanised steel wire armouring, cross-linked polyethylene insulation, and PVC bedding and sheath, it's engineered to withstand the rigorous demands of industrial power systems, control panels, and distribution networks.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose This Cable\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSuperior Mechanical Protection\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe helical steel wire armour provides exceptional resistance to crushing, impact, and external mechanical stress. Unlike standard unarmoured cables, the SWA layer shields all 19 conductors from damage during installation and throughout the cable's operational life—critical for environments where cables face direct burial, cable trays, underground conduits, or exposure to heavy machinery.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eXLPE Insulation for Extended Performance\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCross-linked polyethylene insulation supports conductor operating temperatures up to 90°C, delivering higher current-carrying capacity than traditional PVC-insulated alternatives. XLPE also provides superior short-circuit withstand capability, lower dielectric losses, and enhanced thermal stability—meaning efficient power transmission with reduced energy dissipation over longer runs.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCorrosion-Resistant \u0026amp; Weather-Proof Construction\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe combination of PVC bedding and outer sheath provides robust defence against moisture, chemicals, oils, and UV degradation. Whether buried directly in soil, exposed to outdoor elements, or installed in chemical-rich industrial facilities, this cable maintains integrity and prevents insulation degradation that could lead to electrical faults.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePerfect for Multi-Circuit Applications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 19-core configuration makes this cable ideal for control systems, power distribution panels, automation equipment, and installations requiring multiple independent circuits within a single cable. This simplifies routing, reduces installation labour, and minimises space requirements in crowded cable ducts and distribution enclosures.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eKey Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eIndustrial facilities:\u003c\/b\u003e Power distribution in factories, plants, and machinery control systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eUnderground installations:\u003c\/b\u003e Direct burial without additional conduit protection due to robust SWA shielding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eConstruction sites:\u003c\/b\u003e Reliable power supply to temporary equipment and site infrastructure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCommercial buildings:\u003c\/b\u003e Main distribution boards, sub-mains, and emergency power circuits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOutdoor infrastructure:\u003c\/b\u003e Solar arrays, renewable energy systems, and grid interconnections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAgricultural \u0026amp; rural projects:\u003c\/b\u003e Farm equipment power, outbuilding installations, and landscape irrigation systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eTechnical Advantages\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe armour layer also functions as a Circuit Protective Conductor (CPC), providing an additional path for fault currents and enhancing overall electrical safety. The steel wire construction ensures approximately 90% coverage of the cable core, delivering consistent protection against accidental damage. Installation with proper cable glands enables secure termination while maintaining earth continuity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCompliance \u0026amp; Standards\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eManufactured to BS 5467 specifications, this cable meets all UK electrical safety standards and is suitable for fixed installations at 600\/1000V ratings. The construction—stranded copper conductors, XLPE insulation, PVC bedding, galvanised SWA, and UV-resistant PVC sheath—ensures long-term reliability in even the harshest environments.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSold per metre, allowing you to purchase only the exact length required, minimising waste and cost.
