Steel Wire Armoured (SWA) BS5467 Cable is a robust and hard-wearing power cable with copper conductors, XLPE insulation, steel wire armour and a black PVC sheath. It is designed for the supply of mains electricity – for power networks, underground systems and in cable ducting – and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. With its steel wire armour, SWA Cable is particularly useful in external or underground projects. As well as providing effective mechanical protection, the armour enables it to withstand higher pulling loads. SWA’s XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene) insulation is resistant to a wide range of chemicals and has good thermal stability. By what other names is SWA Cable known? Steel Wire Armoured Cable is sometimes referred to as Booklet Armoured Cable or, more generally, as Mains or Power Cable. Can I use the steel wire armour as earth? Using the steel armour as the only earth is not to be recommended. Although it is possible on power cable up to a certain size, it should only be used as an additional earth. The armour should, however, always be earthed at the supply end to ensure that it cannot become live if the cable is severed or if a fault develops within the cable.
