Swa 3core Armadac Cable 1.9/3.3kv

Application Information
The cost effectiveness of transferring power over long distances through intermediate step-up step-down systems is desirable for the electrification of industrial and residential installations, including game lodges.

Armadac consists of 3 circular stranded plain soft copper conductors, PVC insulated, PVC bedded, Steel Wire Armoured, PVC sheathed, 1, 9 / 3, 3 kV manufactured to SANS 1507-3. Applications where this cable can typically be used include, amongst others, residential installations, game lodges and general long distance electricity transfer applications at intermediate voltage.

Advantages of using an intermediate voltage cable over the conventional 400V 3-phase system offered by the increased voltage of 3, 3 kV include the fact that volt drop will be considerably lower and small conductor sizes (10mm? 16mm? Or 25mm? Will suffice for most applications. The Armadac cable is steel wire armoured and provides a robust mechanical protection to the cable, hence it is suitable to be installed underground. Furthermore, Armadac offers additional protection against attack by rodents and other animals as provided by the steel wire armouring. The steel wire armouring can also be utilized as an earth continuity path, therefore eliminating the need for an external earth conductor. Armadac makes use of circular cores which limits electrical stress in the insulation and also incorporates a flame retardant PVC Sheath, which limits the spread of fire.
