SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the mechanical properties of armoured cables, specifically comparing tape armour and wire armour. Tape armour is preferred for applications requiring flexibility and lightweight construction, while wire armour offers superior strength and protection against impact. The choice between the two depends on the specific environmental conditions and mechanical stresses the cable will encounter.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of cable construction and materials
  • Knowledge of mechanical properties relevant to electrical cables
  • Familiarity with environmental factors affecting cable performance
  • Basic principles of electrical safety and installation standards
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the mechanical properties of different cable armouring types
  • Explore applications of tape armour in flexible installations
  • Investigate the impact resistance of wire armour in harsh environments
  • Learn about industry standards for cable armouring and installation
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineers, cable manufacturers, and professionals involved in the design and installation of power cables will benefit from this discussion.

Hello guys , i have a question related to cable mechanical properties

you know power cables have armouring , which enhance the mechanical properties for the cable

the question is : what is the difference between the Tape armour and wire armour i know the difference in how they look like and the difference in construction but what i mean , when the tape armouring is preferred over wire armouring and vice verse

Thanks a lot
