Our LV cable range supports copper or aluminum conductors, XLPE, PVC, PE and LSZH material options, together with unarmoured, STA, SWA and AWA constructions for different installation conditions.
Manufactured in accordance with IEC 60502-1, our low voltage power cables can be configured according to conductor material, core arrangement, insulation, sheath, armour, fire performance and installation environment. OEM and project-specific cable designs are available for distributors, EPC contractors, utilities and industrial buyers.
Our 0.6/1kV low voltage power cable portfolio covers multiple constructions for different mechanical protection and installation requirements. Select the cable family according to the installation route and operating environment.
Designed for protected fixed installations such as cable trays, conduits, ducts and indoor power distribution where additional mechanical armour is not required.
Steel tape armour provides additional protection against radial mechanical pressure, making it suitable for underground, trench and industrial fixed installations.
Steel wire armour provides stronger mechanical and tensile protection for demanding underground and infrastructure installations.
Aluminium wire armour is particularly suitable for single-core AC power cables where a non-magnetic armour system is required.
♦ This series is designed for secondary grids, heavy industrial plants, and commercial buildings at 0.6/1kV.
♦ Conductors: high-purity electrolytic copper (CU) or electrical-grade aluminum (AL).
♦ Insulation and sheath materials can be selected independently. The factory supports mainstream combinations of PVC, PE, and XLPE to meet project requirements for temperature resistance, waterproofing, and mechanical protection.
♦ Specific selection depends on project ampacity, ambient temperature, and installation budget. For example: 90°C thermal rating or enhanced underground waterproofing — both achievable through material combinations.
♦ Standard configurations include non-armoured and heavy armoured designs. Optional add-ons:
♦ All cables comply with IEC 60502-1. Third-party test reports available upon request.
Cable selection should be based on the electrical load, installation method and operating environment rather than voltage rating alone.

This category primarily covers 0.6/1kV (600/1000V) low voltage power cables for fixed power distribution systems. Medium- and high-voltage cables are covered by separate product categories.
Copper provides high conductivity and allows a smaller conductor for a given electrical requirement, while aluminum can reduce cable weight and material cost. Selection should consider ampacity, installation conditions, conductor size and total project cost.
Armoured cable is generally selected where the cable may be exposed to mechanical pressure, pulling forces or underground installation risks. STA, SWA and AWA constructions provide different forms of mechanical protection and should be selected according to the installation method.
Yes. Conductor material, insulation, sheath, armour, number of cores, cable size, marking, packaging and special protection requirements can be customized according to the project specification.
Provide the rated voltage, conductor material, number of cores, cross-sectional area, insulation, sheath, armour type, applicable standard, installation environment and required quantity. A cable schedule or technical specification is the preferred reference for project orders.

Send Your RFQSWA Armoured Cable
Within our heavy-duty Low Voltage Cable segment, this SWA Armoured Cable series is designed for harsh engineering environments requiring the highest level of mechanical protection. A dense layer of round galvanized steel wires (SWA) provides exceptional longitudinal tensile strength and crush resistance, making this low voltage steel wire armoured cable range the premier safety choice for mining, tunneling, municipal grids, and high-tensile installations.
♦ Standards: IEC 60502-1, BS 5467, VDE 0271
♦ Cores: 3 Cores, 4 Cores, 5 Cores (Note: SWA is not applicable to 1-Core AC lines due to eddy current heating)
♦ Conductors: Premium Oxygen-Free Copper (CU) or Electrical-Grade Aluminum (AL)
♦ Material Matrix: Insulation and sheath materials can be selected independently among PVC, PE, and XLPE to adapt to specific soil conditions and ambient stresses.
♦ Optional Upgrade: Beyond standard PVC/PE options, our production line offers tailored flame-retardant polymers and halogen-free compound upgrades. This modification is highly recommended for transit tunnels and heavy industrial containment zones to prevent toxic gas release during critical thermal emergencies.
Key Advantages
♦ High Tensile Backbone: The helical steel wire armor absorbs massive gravitational and mechanical pulling forces during installation. This ensures internal conductors never stretch or snap, making it invaluable for high-drop vertical riser shafts and deep boreholes.
♦ Full-Scenario Defense: Provides a heavy-duty mechanical shield against sharp rocky backfills, land subsidence, and underground biological hazards like rodents and termites, significantly extending the cable's operational lifespan.
♦ Substation System Safety: The continuous galvanized steel wire grid functions as an exceptionally low-resistance grounding path for the entire electrical network, enhancing on-site safety during high-power continuous operations.
Application Guideline
♦ Choose SWA: Crucial for vertical mine shafts, high-rise risers, river crossings, or deep direct burial with high mechanical pulling stress.
♦ Alternatives: If heavy tensile strength is not required and you prefer a lighter, lower-cost option, please view our STA steel tape armoured series. For 1-Core armoured applications, please see our AWA aluminium wire armoured series.
