1.9/3.3kV BS 5467 SWA Cable
1.9/3.3kV BS 5467 SWA Cable is a high-reliability, Class 2 stranded copper XLPE insulated SWA power cable complying with BS 5467 and IEC 60502-1 standards. Built with high-conductivity Class 2 stranded plain copper conductors and thermally resilient Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) insulation, this cable supports continuous conductor operating temperatures up to +90°C.
What is 1.9/3.3kV BS 5467 SWA Cable?
1.9/3.3kV BS 5467 SWA Cable is a Class 2 stranded copper XLPE insulated SWA power cable complying with BS 5467 and IEC 60502-1 standards. Designed for medium-voltage fixed power distribution, it combines high electrical conductivity with exceptional mechanical protection for demanding industrial applications.
The cable features a Class 2 stranded plain copper conductor insulated with XLPE, a polyester tape separator, PVC filler, and a layer of Galvanized Steel Wire Armour (SWA). Enclosed in a black, UV-resistant PVC outer sheath, it ensures long-term operational reliability under heavy mechanical stress, outdoor exposure, and direct burial conditions.
