The 3 core SWA armoured cable is commonly used for single-phase applications where an additional conductor is required, such as outdoor lighting, sheds, and small machinery. Its strong steel wire armour offers excellent protection against physical damage, while the insulation provides reliability in damp or challenging outdoor conditions.
We now keep this cable with Green/Yellow, Blue, Brown cores.
Green/Yellow for earth, Blue for neutral, and Brown for live align with modern wiring standards, reducing the risk of wiring errors.
Clear core identification helps prevent accidental miswiring, minimizing hazards like electric shocks and short circuits.
Our 4 core SWA cable is ideal for three-phase applications with a neutral, making it suitable for industrial equipment, pumps, and distribution boards. The robust construction allows installation underground, in ducts, or clipped to surfaces, giving a versatile and cost-effective power supply solution.
