A 10mm2 2-core armoured cable in Nigeria is a heavy-duty electrical power cable designed for safe and durable power transmission, especially in harsh environments like construction sites, underground installations, and industrial areas.
Typical structure includes:
* Conductors: Copper or aluminium (high conductivity)
* Cores: 2 cores (usually Live and Neutral)
* Insulation: PVC or XLPE (heat and moisture resistant)
* Armouring: Steel Wire Armour (SWA) for mechanical protection
* Outer Sheath: PVC (black, weatherproof and UV-resistant)
Electrical Rating
* Voltage rating: 0.6/1kV (low voltage power distribution)
* Current capacity: Approx. 50–90 amps depending on installation conditions
