SOLSQUARE 3.5 Core Aluminium XLPE Armoured Power Cables

SOLSQUARE 3.5 Core Aluminium XLPE Armoured Power Cables

Electricity is something we depend on every second of our waking lives, and while the transmission of power is safe and convenient, cables must withstand environmental and operational stressors. In terms of the wide range of options we find on the power cable market, armoured cables are the most efficient, reliable, and safe options for heavy-duty projects.

SOLSQUARE will provide you with 3.5 Core Aluminium XLPE Armoured Power Cables, which incorporate cutting-edge engineering and material selection to provide high performance, safety, and durability when powering your application.

These cables offer power transmission for prolonged use in both industrial and commercial settings to get you the best use out of any difficult power applications you may have, even in extreme conditions.

Offering underground cabling when needed for industrial plants, utility-scale power distribution, or commercial installations, these armoured power cables will offer protection from the environment and mechanical forces, while ensuring adequate thermal stability and electrical efficiency.

What are Armoured Power Cables?

An armoured power cable can be described as a standard power cable with an additional layer of protection - the metal armouring. The layer serves a number of purposes including:

  • Protects the cables inner conductors from mechanical damage.
  • Provides electrical continuity and earthing.
  • Increases the robustness of the cable in harsh environments.
  • Allows the cables to be used in underground or outdoor applications.

The 3.5 Core comprises of 3 power cores and 1 neutral core (half the size) and is therefore ideal for three phase power supply systems.

What Are the Benefits of XLPE Insulated Armoured Cables?

XLPE (Cross-linked Polyethylene) insulation is one of the most modern insulation materials used by cable manufacturers today. Compared to PVC insulated cables, XLPE has:

  • Higher thermal resistance (up to 90°C in a continuous working operation and 250°C during short circuit conditions).
  • Improved resistance to aging and chemical breakdown.
  • Lower dielectric losses which improve electrical performance.
  • Reduced mutual capacitance which reduced charging and earth leakage currents.

This means XLPE insulated armoured cables are not only safe, but also prove highly efficient for use horse power transmission and distribution networks.

Main Attributes of SOLSQUARE 3.5 Core Aluminium XLPE Armoured Power Cables

  • Excellent Electrical Conductivity - The aluminium conductor guarantees adequate and reliable power transfer while remaining light-weight and cost effective in price.
  • Good Magnetic Conductivity - As the cables resist external magnetism, they can operate effectively under demanding electrical conditions.
  • Good Mechanical Strength - The armouring aids in protection against accidental impact and environmental stress.
  • Lightweight - Compared with copper equivalents, it has easier installation, which saves both labour and installation costs.
  • Thermal Stability - These cables can operate under demanding load conditions (90° for continuous load, 250° for short circuit).
  • Durable - As the cables resist aging, chemicals, and mechanical stress, they will last the full operational life.
