The difference between armored cables and unarmored cables is that there is an extra layer of metal reinforcement. The common armoring methods include steel tape armoring and steel wire armoring. The steel wire armoring is divided into thin steel wire armoring and thick steel wire armoring. Steel wire armor.
What are the advantages of armored cables compared to unarmored cables?
1. The armored cable mechanical protection layer can be added to any structure of the cable to increase the mechanical strength of the cable and improve the corrosion resistance. It is a wire and cable designed for areas that are prone to mechanical damage and extremely prone to erosion. It can be laid in any way. Steel tape armored cables are generally laid straight and can withstand external forces in the horizontal direction. Steel wire armored cables are mostly used in vertical shafts and other places that require vertical installation.
2. The cable with armor layer can also enhance mechanical protection such as tensile strength and compressive strength to prolong its service life.
3. The armored cable has a certain degree of resistance to external forces, and it can also be guarded against rat bites, so as not to cause power transmission problems through the armor. The bending radius of the armor should be large, and the armor layer can be directly grounded to protect the cable.
