2 Product Overview

The CU/XLPE/SWA/PVC 4×70mm² 0.6/1kV Armoured Power Cable is a heavy-duty low voltage power cable designed for three-phase power distribution in industrial, commercial, and infrastructure applications. Manufactured to IEC 60502-1, this four-core cable provides reliable power transmission with robust mechanical protection.

The cable features four 70mm² high-purity copper conductors with Class 2 stranded construction per IEC 60228, delivering excellent conductivity for high-current three-phase circuits. The XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene) insulation provides superior thermal performance with a 90°C continuous conductor rating and 250°C short-circuit tolerance, enabling higher ampacity compared to PVC-insulated cables of the same cross-section.

The SWA (steel wire armour) layer provides mechanical protection against impact, crushing, and rodent damage, while the PVC outer sheath delivers reliable protection against moisture, chemicals, and environmental exposure. The four-core configuration (typically brown, black, grey, and blue for phase and neutral identification) is ideal for three-phase distribution networks requiring a neutral conductor.

All production is managed under the quality system of SORIVO, with each batch undergoing 3.5 kV AC dielectric testing and routine conductor resistance verification. The cable is engineered for 30+ years of service life in power distribution and industrial applications. For detailed company information, please visit sorivocable.com/about-us/.

5 FAQ

Q What is the current-carrying capacity of 4×70mm² XLPE/SWA/PVC cable?
The approximate current rating for a 4-core 70mm² copper conductor, XLPE insulated, SWA armoured cable in a buried installation at 90°C conductor temperature is approximately 200–250A per phase, depending on installation conditions (depth, soil thermal resistivity, grouping). For an accurate rating for your specific installation, please consult the SORIVO technical team.
Q What are the typical applications for 4×70mm² armoured cable?
4×70mm² SWA cable is commonly used for main supply cables in commercial buildings, industrial plant distribution, substation feeders, underground distribution networks, and large motor connections. The four-core configuration allows for three-phase plus neutral in a single cable run, simplifying installation and reducing costs.
Q Is this cable suitable for direct burial?
Yes, this cable is specifically designed for direct burial applications. The SWA armour provides mechanical protection against soil pressure and rocks, while the PVC outer sheath resists moisture and ground chemicals. For armored cables, no additional conduit is typically required for underground installation.
Q What is the approximate outer diameter of 4×70mm² SWA cable?
The typical outer diameter of a 4-core 70mm² CU/XLPE/SWA/PVC cable is approximately 45–55mm, depending on the manufacturer's design and standard. The exact dimension can be provided upon request. The minimum bend radius is approximately 12 times the outer diameter (approx. 540–660mm).
Q What is the minimum order quantity for this cable?
Our standard MOQ for 4×70mm² CU/XLPE/SWA/PVC cable is 1,000 meters. Sample orders are negotiable for project qualification and testing purposes. With a daily supply capacity of 10,000 meters, we can efficiently handle both small project and large-scale order requirements.
