The first armored cables came into being during the early 1900s and evolved as Copper Armored Cables for improved safety, efficiency and durability in electrical installations. These cables have a multi-layered design with a conductor, insulation, filler, armoring and sheath. Copper is used as a conductor material, ensuring excellent conductivity, with the armoring made of steel, protecting against damage, and the insulation made of materials like XLPE. Copper armored cables are used where cables are exposed to harsh environments where protection from mechanical damage and electrical conductance is required. They find uses in power distribution and underground and outdoor installation projects.
Some of the top brands selling these cables are Havells, Polycab, Plaza, Grandlay and Finolex. Headsup B2B offers Copper Armored Cables from these brands. You can find suitable wires and cables for your needs here.
Benefits
1. Great Electrical Conductivity: The copper's good conductivity, and efficient power transmission will be ensured with minimal energy losses.
2. Increased Mechanical Protection: The steel or aluminium-type armored layer protects this cable against abrasions, moisture, and external impact such that it can be operated under difficult conditions.
3. Enhanced Durability: Another plus is that copper is quite resistant to corrosion and environmental wear and tear, thus increasing the cable's lifespan.
4. High Tensile Strength: Since copper possesses higher tensile strength, it offers greater flexibility. Under high-tension installations, copper will not break easily.
5 . Fire Resistance: The copper cables are capable of withstanding high temperatures, offer considerably higher fire resistance, and enhance safety.
