Armoured cables, commonly referred to as SWA (Steel Wire Armoured) or AWA (Aluminium Wire Armoured) cables, are robust power cables designed with metallic armour protection for demanding installation environments. The armour provides mechanical protection where physical stress could damage the cable, such as direct burial underground, outdoor installations, or industrial environments. These cables are manufactured in accordance with British, European, and International standards including BS 5467, BS 6724, BS 6622, BS 7835, and IEC 60502.

DIN VDE 0276 is the widely used German standard for cables with extruded insulation used in power distribution systems. Developed by the VDE (Verband der Elektrotechnik, Elektronik und Informationstechnik e.V.), this comprehensive standard covers a significant percentage of power cables used across the European continent, establishing construction requirements, dimensional specifications, and test methods for both low voltage (0.6/1 kV) and medium voltage (up to 18/30 kV) power cables.

What is DIN VDE 0276 Cable?

VDE 0276 電纜的技術規格對於正確選擇和安裝至關重要。XLPE 絕緣電纜允許的連續工作溫度高達 90°C，短路溫度可達 250°C，優於 PVC 絕緣電纜的 70°C 和 160°C。導體採用符合 IEC 60228 第 2 類標準的絞合壓縮圓形銅或鋁導體。導體屏蔽層為擠出的半導電材料，最小厚度 0.3mm，在 90°C 時體積電阻率不超過 500 Ω·m。彎曲半徑要求根據電纜類型不同而變化：無金屬護套電纜為 15 倍外徑，帶鋁護套電纜為 30 倍外徑。
