Cable found in underground systems, power networks and

‘Steel Wire Armour is only used on multicore versions of the cable. A
‘aluminum | multisote cable, as the name suggests, is one where there are a
Wee ‘number of different cores. When SWA Cable has only one core,
AWA ‘Armowea | aliinium wire armour (AWA) is used instead of steel wire, This is
ie because the aluminium is non-magnetic. A magnetic field is
produced by the current in a single core cable. This would induce an
electric current in the steel wire, which could cause overheating.

The conductors are then insulated with a tough polyvinyl chloride
(PVC), making the wire heat, moisture, and oil-resistant. The wire
meets the requirements of the National Electrical Code and is listed
by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. and Canadian Standards
Association.

Appliance
Wiring
Material
Underwriters Laboratories categorizes appliance wiring material
(AWM) as a Recognized Component used
in Listed of Classified products. The final acceptance of the wire is
determined by UL during the
investigation of the listed product. AWM wires come in many
different styles because there is an infinite
variety of products in which AWM wire could possibly be used. The
huge number of AWM styles can
make understanding, identifying and finding an AWM wire difficult.
How does UL categorize the styles?
There are five sections of AWM wire, numbered 4 through 5. The
different categorizations are based on the
following criteriai:
+ Single conductor or multiconductor
+ Thermoplastic or thermoset jacket
+ Manufacturing method used to apply insulation, jacket or outer
covering
The style numbers mean something
UL has published a document that explains the different
terminologies and associated numbers that are
assigned to the different styles. For convenience, a reproduction of
the table that addresses the style
numbers and their use is listed below.
