With cross-linked XLPE insulation, this cable operates continuously at 90°C with excellent thermal stability, delivering consistent performance even under heavy sustained loads.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSuperior Protection Against Physical Damage\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe galvanised steel wire armour layer guards internal conductors against physical damage, ground pressure, moisture, and other stresses common in harsh environments. This galvanized steel wire armour gives a more flexible construction, is easy to gland and gives better performance where the cable may be subjected to longitudinal stresses in service. The 50mm² cross-section provides the current capacity you need for industrial circuits, distributed facilities, and multi-building power systems without overloading.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDirect Burial Without Additional Conduit\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSteel wire armour provides mechanical protection, which means the cable can withstand higher stresses, be buried directly and used in external or underground projects. The steel wire armor provides sufficient mechanical protection against impact (e.g., from spades), allowing it to be buried directly without a conduit. This eliminates the cost and complexity of installing protective ducting, making underground installations more economical and faster to deploy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChemical, Moisture, and Temperature Resistance\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe XLPE SWA PVC cable is specifically designed to prevent water penetration through multiple protective layers, where the PVC outer sheath acts as a primary moisture barrier and the XLPE insulation is inherently hydrophobic. The protective armour shields the cable from moisture, dust, dirt, and extreme temperatures, ensuring reliable performance even in the most challenging environments. Whether exposed to rainwater, groundwater, oils, or harsh chemical exposure common in industrial facilities, this cable maintains its integrity and performance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProtection Against Mechanical Hazards and Pests\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe cable effectively deters rodents and other pests, which can wreak havoc on unarmoured cables and cause costly disruptions. Spiral-wound galvanized steel wire provides 360° protection against external impacts, crushing, rodent bites and construction damage. In warehouses, outdoor installations, construction sites, and agricultural settings, this protective feature prevents costly downtime from cable failures.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStandards-Compliant and Long-Term Reliable\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis cable complies with BS 5467 (UK) for XLPE-insulated, PVC-bedded and sheathed armoured cables, and IEC 60502-1 for extruded solid dielectric cables rated up to 1 kV. Cables manufactured in accordance with BS5467 are suitable for sustained service and operational at a maximum conductor temperature of 90°C and at a maximum short-circuit conductor temperature of 250°C. Built to international standards, this cable delivers dependable performance across decades of operation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVersatile Installation Methods\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCommon applications include the supply of mains electricity and for auxiliary control cables in diverse environments including aerial power networks, outdoors, indoors, underground systems and in cable ducting, and they are suitable for direct burial into free draining soil or can be clipped directly onto a surface, on a tray, in a basket or in free air. From indoor industrial wiring to exposed outdoor distribution networks to deep underground installations, this 50mm² four-core cable adapts to your project requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSuitable for Renewable Energy Integration\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBeyond traditional industrial power distribution, this cable is increasingly specified for renewable energy projects. The robust construction and direct-burial capability make it ideal for connecting solar arrays and wind installations to grid infrastructure or backup systems, where long cable runs and outdoor exposure demand uncompromising durability.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith \u003cb\u003eproven reliability in power stations, manufacturing facilities, construction sites, mining operations, and utility infrastructure worldwide\u003c\/b\u003e, the 50mm² 4 Core SWA XLPE Armoured Cable represents the industrial standard for applications where failure is not an option. The combination of mechanical protection, thermal stability, and environmental resistance ensures years of trouble-free operation and maximum return on your electrical infrastructure investment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"swa cable","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54292774388039,"sku":"H6944XL50","price":48.32,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/1156\/5895\/files\/cable_h6944x_a3630362-b423-44b3-82f1-9bebd3a797b5.jpg?v=1783243436","url":"https:\/\/electricallighting.co.uk\/products\/50mm-4-core-pvc-swa-xlpe-armoured-cable-cut-length-sold-by-the-metre","provider":"Electrical Lighting ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
