Armored cables are generally used to protect cables from mechanical damage, normally when they are buried.

One of the first uses of armored cable was actually the trans-Atlantic telegraph line between the UK and US. This was a sea cable that had to withstand the pressures of the depth as well as support its own free weight during installation. Additionally it had to protect the telegraph wire inside from mechanical abrasion against rocks due to underwater currents.

More commonly nowadays, these types of cable are used to protect high and low voltage subterranean power cables and fiber optic cables

What is the definition of a steel wired armoured cable in electrical engineering?

Underground cables are 'armoured' in order to protect them against mechanical damage. This armour takes either of two forms: (1) steel tape, or (2) wire. Wire armour tends to be used on cables with a larger diameter, as it makes them more flexible compared to cables with tape armour. In both cases, the armour is spiral-wound towards the outer part of the cable along its length and is, itself, protected with a hessian or plastic outer layer.


Why armoured cables has less bending radius than lead covered cables?

Armoured cables typically have a more robust construction, which includes a layer of steel or aluminum that provides strength and protection against physical damage. This design allows them to maintain structural integrity while being bent, resulting in a smaller minimum bending radius compared to lead-covered cables. Conversely, lead-covered cables have a softer, more malleable construction, making them less resistant to bending and requiring a larger bending radius to prevent damage to the insulation and lead sheath. Thus, the materials and structural characteristics of each type of cable dictate their respective bending capabilities.
