Armoured cable is the name given to any electrical cable constructed with a layer of aluminium wire armour or steal wire armour. The armour sits below the sheath of the cable to provide protection for the conductor and insulating layers. When electrical cable is required for outside use or in direct burial projects, it must have mechanical protection. Aluminium wire armour or AWA, and steel wire armour or SWA provide such protection as well as enabling the cable to withstand higher pulling loads.

AWA and SWA are used in the power cables.

SWA
Steel Wire/strip Armoured Cable or SWA Cable is a hard-wearing mains electricity cable with class 2 stranded copper conductors, XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene) insulation, PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) bedding, aluminium or steel wire armour and a black PVC sheath. The voltage rating of an SWA Cable is 600/1000V.

AWA
Aluminium Wire/strip Armoured Cable or AWA Cable is a hard-wearing mains electricity cable with class 2 stranded Aluminium conductors, XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene) insulation, PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) bedding, aluminium or steel wire armour and a black PVC sheath.

POWER-FLEX® Automobile cables are manufactured using Electrolytic Grade 99.97% purity copper with 100% conductivity. The high purity & conductivity ensures superior working of the wires throughout their life. The conductor is drawn from bright electrolytic grade copper and annealed copper are bunched tightly together in heavy duty high speed bunchers in circular construction to get perfect concentric shape without any loose strands.

These cables are insulated with a special grade high temperature PVC compound which is impervious to water, oil, grease, acids etc.

These cables can operate under extreme climatic conditions i.e., from -30°C to 105°C.

These cables are manufactured as per IS 2465 standard.

Submersible Pump Flat Cables play a very important role in the working of Submersible motors. They work under extreme stress conditions and perform consistently over long periods of time. Even under fluctuating voltage conditions the cable has to perform without major hiccups.

CONDUCTOR:
POWER-FLEX® Submersible wiring cables are manufactured using Electrolytic Grade 99.97% purity copper with more than 100% conductivity. The high purity & conductivity ensures superior working of the wires throughout their life. The conductor is drawn from bright electrolytic grade copper and annealed copper are bunched tightly together in heavy duty high speed bunchers in circular construction to get perfect concentric shape without any loose strands.

INSULATION:
The bunched conductors are insulated with specially formulated PVC compounds. The compound is resistant to moisture, oil, alkali and grease and has high insulation and dielectric values. The insulation is carried out on state-of-the-art high speed double extrusion lines with self centering cross head. Automatic diameter controllers ensures precision centering and perfect concentric insulation. The high quality tooling ensures smooth insulation.

Online spark testers ensure fail proof high voltage test by employing non destructive form of testing at six times the rated voltage.

SHEATH:
