4mm 5 Core SWA Cable Construction :
According to the different insulating materials, 4mm 5 Core SWA Cable is divided into PVC SWA cable, XLPE SWA cable and XLPE SWA LSF cable. The application of XLPE swa cable is MV armour cable and LV armour cable. And its maximum operating temperature is 90 degrees Celsius. PVC swa cable application is just LV armour cable. And its maximum operating temperature is 70 degrees Celsius. The insulation material of the XLPE SWA LSF cable is made of low-smoke and halogen-free XLPE insulation.
4mm 5 Core SWA Cable Advantages :
If you use the 4mm 5 Core SWA Cable in some public places, for example: medium school, big hospitals, plaza etc. You must buy the LSZF (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) 4mm 5 Core SWA Cable or LSHF Cable (Low Smoke Halogen Free) that its insulation materials are low-pressure halogen-free fireproof. The LSHF 4mm 5 Core SWA Cable will is very safer than other common 4mm 5 Core SWA Cable. Especially, once there is a danger fire hazard. So, that’s why the LSHF 4mm 5 Core SWA Cable prices is higher than other cables. But, you also testing the insulation’s flame retardant and fire resistance before bury the cable.
