How do you cut an armoured cable?
The use of armoured cable is determined by the application that needs an electrical source of voltage. It is a metal sheath cable classification. Armoured cable is used in applications that need mechanical protection usually below a certain elevation. Armoured cable is also usually used on surface wiring. If you have access to an electrical code book there is a whole section on armoured cable. In the CEC the section about armoured cable starts at 12-600 to 12-618.
Define 2XFY in electric cable?
Copper xlpe armoured cable
Why earth cable used along with the 11kV power cable?
If you are referring to an 11-kV underground cable, these are normally armoured and, in the case of older cables, have a lead sheath to prevent moisture ingress into the cable. The lead sheath and metal armour are earthed to ensure that, in the event of mechanical damage to the cable, there is a low-resistance path back to the source to sufficient earth-fault current flows in order to operate the circuit's protective system. Overhead lines do not normally have a separate earth conductor.
Why using semiconductor protection for HT cable?
In a HT cable there are 2 layers of semiconductor one on the conductor and second on the XLPE insulation. As we know semiconductor behaves as conductor when temperature rises. So when the HT cable is on load its conductor temperature rises due to this the semicon layer which is on conductor behaves like conductor and as a result overall cross section area is increased. now the second semicon layer which is over XLPE on temp rise behaves as conductor and used for dessipating heat out of conductor as the cable heat due to load.
What is the difference between armoured unarmoured and flexible cables?
Armored electrical cable contains insulated electrical service wires protected by a flexible steel covering. Unarmored electrical cable has no protective flexible steel covering, its covering is made of plastic.

What is the current rating of 25mm 4-core armoured cable?
You have to be specific. whether the conductor is aluminum or copper. Current carrying capacity will be different for these two types. Copper cable can take more load than aluminum cable for same diameter.
Define 2XFY in electric cable?
Copper xlpe armoured cable
What is the meaning of YRY cable?
Yry means copper round armoured cable
What are the advantage of using copper wire armoured cable?
The advantage of using armoured cable over rigid conduit systems is the flexibility of the cable. There are some situations where conduit can not be bent into the shade needed to make a proper connection to a device. Because of the flexibility if the armoured cable it can be used instead to make a presentable looking job.

What is SWB armoured cable?
SWB - Steel Wire Braid
Older hard drives use what kind of conductor IDE conductor ribbon cable?
The correct answer is....80-conductor IDE ribbon cable.
What Are the Different Types of 2 core cable?
2 conductor round cable 2 conductor twisted cable
Can I see a photograph of armoured cable?
yes, but picture can not be enclosed here
What is the meaning of the 2xfy in cable?
Copper XLPE Armoured Power Cables.
What is bend radius of power cable how can you calculate the bend radius of 3c xlpe 240sqmm armoured cable having diameter of 100mm?
The radius of the curve of the inner edge of the bends shall be at least 6 times the external diameter for armoured cable.
