Construction of Copper Armourmed Cables

Copper armoured cables are constructed uniquely using standard methods, with some additions for beneficial features. Here is the step-by-step construction procedure:

• The copper conductor is drawn in solid or stranded form. The electrolytic grade copper is considered best due to its pure quality.
• Each wire is insulated by PVC or XLPE, depending on the application. XLPE is used for much harsher conditions like UV exposure and temperature fluctuations.
• The inner sheet is wrapped around the wires to enclose them and create a boundary between the metal armour and wires.
• The metal layer of armour, usually galvanized steel wire strips or deep drawn layering, is applied.
• An outer layer of insulating sheath is wrapped around the whole assembly.

Advantages of Copper Armoured Cables

Increased strength

The armouring layer increases the strength and stability of the cable without making it too rigid. This protection layer is to withstand the heavy load conditions of the underground. Crushing, impact and abrasive forces are dealt with by the unbreakable strength of these cables.

Reduces Electromagnetic Interference

When the cables are bunched together, there is a chance of electromagnetic interference (EMI). But the right copper armoured cable manufacturers provide enough resistance to avoid EMI and ensure efficient transmission and a current path.

Vibration Resistance

These cables are used in industrial machinery where high vibrational waves run across. The armouring can effectively withstand these vibrations.

Protection Against Rodents

The rodents in the underground can damage the cables, but the layer of solid metal also protects them from this damage.

Moisture Resistance

Underground is often wet due to a high amount of moisture. The multiple layers of insulation and armour can withstand this high level of moisture to increase longevity.

Conclusion

Copper armoured cable manufacturers make highly effective cables for underground, industrial settings and other similar harsh conditions. These cables offer better features than unarmoured cables by enhancing the strength, resistance and protection against other damaging elements. At SCPL Cables, we add fire protection and zero smoke features in the insulation layers so that the overall design is exceptional.

Excellent Conductivity

Copper is known to have excellent conductivity. At SCPL, we use highly pure copper conductors that are annealed to relieve stress. By ensuring high conductivity, the power supplied by the electrical power generation reaches the end smoothly and efficiently.

Superior Strength

Copper conductors are armoured by galvanized steel wire or flat strips. This layer of armour shield protects the cable from physical stressors like crushing forces, sudden impacts, animal bites, and continuous load in the power transmission network.

Complete Protection

These cables are insulated by top quality insulating layer which have high moisture resistance properties. Depending on the conditions, the insulation layer may be XLPE or PVC. XLPE insulation is used in more challenging conditions like underground or overhead cables, while PVC is used in interior applications. With these insulating agents, the copper armoured cable manufacturers ensure complete protection.

Less Power Loss

The armoured cable and the robust insulation ensure there is minimal power loss due to current leakages. It safeguards the conductors from external heat, and overall, it houses smooth power transmission.

Long Cable Life

The armoured cable has an extended life span due to its advanced protective features. Some of these cables may last up to 50 years. Hence, these cables are highly durable and maintain their performance for decades.

Conclusion

Copper armoured cables are a great evolution from traditional power cables. Their design is innovative and enhances the safety and durability of cables. By choosing these cables for your electrical network, you can reduce the risk of power outages and short circuits due to faulty cables. Choose copper armoured cables by SCPL.
