Armour Type Guide
Low Voltage Cable Armour Types, Features and Applications
Based on the armour filters used in the Starsun low voltage power cable catalog, this table helps buyers compare mechanical protection, installation scenarios and selection notes before sending an RFQ.
| Armour type | Typical cable families | Key features | Common applications | Selection note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Steel WireSWA | BS 5467 XLPE SWA PVC, BS 6724 XLPE SWA LSZH, N2XRH | High mechanical protection, good tensile strength and strong resistance to impact for fixed LV installations. | Direct burial, cable trenches, industrial plants, outdoor distribution, infrastructure routes. | Best suited to multi-core cables. Avoid steel armour on single-core AC circuits unless the design specifically allows it. |
| Aluminum WireAWA | Single-core BS 5467 AWA PVC, BS 6724 AWA LSZH | Non-magnetic armour for single-core AC cable; reduces armour heating and provides mechanical protection. | Single-core feeders, large cross-section LV circuits, substations, building main distribution. | Use when single-core AC cable needs armour. Confirm bonding, short-circuit duty and installation method. |
| Steel TapeSTA | N2XBH, steel tape armoured LV power cable | Compact armour layer with strong radial protection against compression and external mechanical pressure. | Buried routes, ducts, cable trenches, fixed installations where crushing resistance matters more than tensile strength. | Suitable for static routes. For pulling tension or exposed impact risk, SWA may be more appropriate. |
| Interlocked ArmourMC / ACWU / TECK | Type MC, ACWU90, TECK90 aluminum interlocked armour cables | Flexible metallic armour with good bendability, installation speed and protection for building wiring systems. | Commercial buildings, industrial wiring, tray or exposed runs, North American-style project specifications. | Match to the project code and standard. Confirm conductor, jacket, wet-location and flame requirements. |
| UnarmouredNo armour | N2XY, NA2XY, RV-K and protected LV power cable routes | Lighter, easier to handle and usually more cost-effective when external mechanical risk is controlled. | Indoor protected routes, ducts, trays, panels, short protected connections and flexible power supply. | Use only where mechanical protection is provided by the installation environment. For direct burial or harsh sites, choose an armoured type. |

Low Voltage Armoured Cable Supplier for IEC and BS Projects
Low voltage armoured cable is a fixed-installation power cable designed for systems up to 0.6/1kV where the cable route may face mechanical impact, compression, tensile stress or direct burial conditions. Typical constructions include Cu/XLPE/PVC/SWA/PVC and Al/XLPE/PVC/SWA/PVC for multi-core cables, and Cu/XLPE/PVC/AWA/PVC for single-core AC circuits.
Starsun Electric supplies armoured LV power cables for distributors, contractors, utilities and EPC buyers. Cable construction can be selected by voltage, conductor material, core count, armour type, sheath compound and project standard. Common references include IEC 60502-1, BS 5467 for PVC sheathed XLPE armoured cable and BS 6724 for low smoke zero halogen alternatives.

Buyer Questions
Low Voltage Armoured Cable FAQ
Can low voltage armoured cable be directly buried?
Yes, armoured cables are commonly used in direct burial and cable trench routes when the selected construction, bedding, sheath and installation method meet the project conditions.
Should I choose SWA or AWA?
Multi-core LV cables commonly use steel wire armour. Single-core AC cables commonly use aluminum wire armour because it is non-magnetic and helps avoid heating caused by magnetic armour losses.
Can Starsun provide LSZH armoured cable?
Yes. LSZH sheath options can be supplied for building, tunnel, public infrastructure and fire-performance projects, commonly under BS 6724 or project specifications.
What information should I send for a fast quotation?
Send standard, voltage, conductor material, core number, cable size, armour type, sheath type, quantity, delivery destination and any required test reports or approvals.
