What is 0.6/1kV NA2XRY SWA Cable?
NA2XRY Aluminium Conductor XLPE SWA PVC 0.6/1kV Cable is a Class 2 stranded aluminium conductor XLPE insulated armoured power cable generally complying with BS 5467 and IEC 60502-1 standards. Designed for low-voltage power distribution under severe mechanical and environmental stress, it offers a lightweight and cost-effective alternative to copper-conductor armoured cables.
The cable features stranded circular aluminium conductors, thermally stable XLPE insulation, PVC filler bedding, and wire armour. Single-core configurations utilize non-magnetic Aluminium Wire Armour (AWA) to eliminate magnetic heating losses, while multi-core cables utilize Galvanized Round Steel Wire Armour (SWA) for superior crushing resistance. Encased in a flame-retardant black PVC outer sheath, it ensures reliable long-term performance in demanding underground and industrial environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can NA2XRY aluminium armoured cable be installed directly underground?
A: Yes, NA2XRY cable is specifically designed for underground installation and direct burial, as its AWA/SWA layer protects the cable against severe mechanical compulsion and crushing.
Q: Why does single-core NA2XRY cable use Aluminium Wire Armour (AWA) instead of Steel Wire Armour (SWA)?
A: Single-core AC cables use non-magnetic Aluminium Wire Armour (AWA) to prevent induced eddy currents and magnetic heating, which would occur if magnetic steel wire (SWA) were used.
Q: What is the maximum operating temperature for NA2XRY cable?
A: The XLPE insulation allows for a continuous maximum operating temperature of +90°C, making it suitable for installations in comparatively high ambient temperatures.
Q: What payment terms does Huadong Cable Group accept for international orders?
A: We accept Telegraphic Transfer (T/T) and Irrevocable Letter of Credit (L/C) at sight for international B2B transactions.
