What is the 3 Core 1.5mm SWA Cable (Blue, Brown, Green/Yellow)?
3 Core SWA Cable 1.5mm with Blue, Brown, Green/Yellow wires is a type of armored electrical cable commonly used for power distribution and transmission in various applications.
The Blue wire in the cable is typically the neutral wire and is connected to the neutral bus in the electrical panel or distribution board. The Brown electrical wire is the live wire, which carries the current from the source to the load, and is connected to the live bus in the electrical panel. The Green/Yellow wire is the earth wire, which provides a protective ground connection to the earth and is typically connected to the earth bus in the electrical panel.
The SWA (Steel Wire Armoured) feature of the cable provides additional protection against physical damage and water ingress, making it suitable for outdoor and underground installations. The armoured layer consists of a layer of steel wires that are wrapped around the cable, providing an extra layer of protection.
The 1.5mm cable size refers to the diameter of the copper conductor inside the cable. This size is commonly used for low-power applications such as lighting circuits, small appliances, and other similar electrical loads.
Overall, the 3 Core SWA Cable 1.5mm is a durable and reliable cable that is suitable for a wide range of power distribution applications. This cable is also offered in more sizes, including 2.5mm and 10.0mm. Shop electrical cable by the metre cut to order today, available for next-day delivery!
