To test the continuity of steel wire armoured (SWA) cable, a continuity tester or multimeter is used to check for a complete electrical path. The outer steel armor is connected to the earth, while the inner conductors are tested individually to ensure they are properly connected and have no breaks. The resistance should be low, indicating good continuity. Additionally, the test should confirm that there is no short circuit between conductors or between conductors and the armor.

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.

Why is it likely that a separate earth conductor cable is run with armoured cable?

Running a separate earth conductor cable with armoured cable is likely due to safety and regulatory compliance. The separate earth conductor ensures effective grounding, reducing the risk of electric shock and improving overall system safety. Additionally, it provides a dedicated path for fault currents, enhancing protection against electrical faults. Furthermore, using a separate conductor can help maintain the integrity and performance of the main power conductors within the armoured cable.


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 cableeye testing?

CableEye testing refers to a method used to inspect and verify the integrity of cable connections and wiring in electronic systems. This testing typically involves a specialized system that can analyze cable assemblies, ensuring proper pin connections, continuity, and identifying any faults or miswirings. It is commonly used in manufacturing and maintenance to ensure that cables meet quality standards and function correctly in their intended applications.

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 the current carrying capacity of 32 sq mm copper cable?

It depends on the the number of cores, type of insulation, whether armoured or unarmoured, and method of installation. So, there is no simple answer. You must determine the current-carrying capacity from the Tables provided in BS 7671:2008 Requirements for Electrical Installations, or the equivalent used in your country.
