Answer / will
SWA-Steel wired armoured cable, Armoured cable is generally
used underground.Armour is for the protection of cable ,
moreover sometimes grounded and used to carry the leakage
current to trip the circuit on the ground fault.

Answer / yoyoma
SWA - Steel Wire Armour cable. This is a typical IEC
designation. The cable is protected by individual steel
wire wound around the cable in a continuos run. This type
of cable is usually used in an industrial application.
Since the cable is protected by the steel wired armour,
there is no need for additional mechanical protection i.e.
conduit. In addition to this as per IEC, the steel wire
armour also acted as a ground, so a ground wire in the
construction of the cable is not required.

I find that underground strip-armoiured,4core,LT PVC cables in an earthed power distribution sytem are occasionly found in charred condition-with no trace of it except ash. Is this because of no proper earth connection/continuity (giving rising to high armour resistance)in the joint enroute or because of insufficient capability (again due to high armour resistance)of cable-armour to carry fault current or due to neglected /unprotected overloading of the cable or due to high armour currents caused by power thefts where only phase(s) are unauthorisely tapped & at the point of poer consumption earth terminal is established by burring underground a not so good earthing rod (or using an underground water pipe for the purpose)
