With the large-scale construction activity of 2026, electrical reliability is fundamental to successful projects. TheEl-Hegaz armored 3-core copper cable, size (2\u00d770 + 35) mm\u00b2<\/strong><\/b>is an advanced engineering solution designed to withstand demanding underground and mechanical conditions. It is more than a current-carrying cable; its armored construction protects power flow from pressure, moisture, and chemical exposure that buried cables may encounter.<\/p>\n Choosing El-Hegaz in this size means investing in copper quality and long service life. For large loads approaching 200 A, current-transmission efficiency depends directly on conductor purity and armor quality, areas addressed through compliance with relevant Egyptian and international standards.<\/p>\n El-Hegaz armored (70 + 35) mm\u00b2 cable uses a multilayer structure in which each layer performs a specific function to support stable power delivery:<\/p>\n Main conductors (2\u00d770 mm\u00b2):<\/strong><\/b>99.9% pure electrolytic red copper is used. The strands are helically arranged to reduce electrical resistance, helping prevent excessive cable temperature and maintain stable voltage$Voltage Drop$<\/span>delivered to heavy equipment.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Third conductor (1\u00d735 mm\u00b2):<\/strong><\/b>This conductor serves as neutral or earth. Using a 35 mm\u00b2 cross-section\u2014half the area of the main phase conductors\u2014is an economical engineering approach that can reduce cable weight and cost while maintaining required safety when appropriate to the electrical design.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Each copper conductor is covered with high-quality PVC or$XLPE$<\/span>, depending on specification, and color-coded for easier connection. The insulation is designed to withstand elevated operating temperatures without electrical breakdown.<\/p>\n A flexible plastic layer surrounds the three cores. Its key function is to act as a cushion, preventing sharp steel armor wires from contacting the inner insulation and protecting the conductors from abrasion during bending or pulling on site.<\/p>\n This is the core of the cable\u2019s mechanical strength and consists of strong galvanized-steel wires surrounding the inner layers.<\/p>\n Mechanical protection:<\/strong><\/b>Provides protection against cutting and crushing forces caused by heavy equipment passing above the cable route.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Biological barrier:<\/strong><\/b>Helps prevent rodents from penetrating and damaging the cable, an important consideration in desert and agricultural areas.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n The final layer is durable black PVC resistant to ultraviolet radiation, salts, and chemicals in soil, making the cable suitable for direct burial when installation requirements are met.<\/p>\n A 70 mm\u00b2 conductor is well suited to connecting main distribution boards to large machinery requiring stable current, including hydraulic presses, small furnaces, and central air-conditioning systems.<\/p>\n Because lighting cables are exposed to persistent moisture and soil pressure, El-Hegaz armored cable helps reduce the risk of earth-leakage faults that can interrupt lighting in large residential developments.<\/p>\n In agricultural areas and stations near water sources, the moisture-resistant sheath and steel armor provide strong protection against natural corrosion factors and mechanical vibration generated by pumps.<\/p>\n Investing in El-Hegaz armored cable is a sound long-term financial decision:<\/p>\n Savings on protective conduit:<\/strong><\/b>Thanks to the armor, the cable can reduce the need for additional rigid protective conduit and may be installed in a properly prepared trench with fine-sand bedding where the design permits.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Reduced energy loss:<\/strong><\/b>Pure copper reduces energy lost as heat, helping lower facility electricity consumption.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Service life exceeding 40 years:<\/strong><\/b>The cable is designed for long-term operation with limited maintenance requirements, supporting project asset value.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n To achieve maximum performance from El-Hegaz armored cable, follow these steps:<\/p>\n Use cable glands:<\/strong><\/b>Install appropriate metal cable glands to bond the steel armor to the electrical-panel body, providing effective earthing for the system.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Burial depth:<\/strong><\/b>A burial depth of at least 80 cm is generally recommended to keep the cable away from surface activity and protect it from high mechanical loads, subject to project and local-code requirements.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Bending radius:<\/strong><\/b>Avoid excessively sharp bends to protect the steel armor and internal copper cores.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n El-Hegaz armored cables are designed withflame-retardant properties<\/strong><\/b>. If an electrical fault or external fire occurs, the cable is designed to limit flame propagation along underground routes, providing additional time for fire-protection systems and helping protect people and property.<\/p>\n Clear permanent marking:<\/strong><\/b>Check that the El-Hegaz company name and size (3×70 + 35) mm\u00b2 are clearly printed on the outer sheath.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Steel quality:<\/strong><\/b>The armor wires should be bright, galvanized, and evenly arranged beneath the black sheath, with good resistance to rapid corrosion.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Copper purity:<\/strong><\/b>Genuine high-purity copper has a bright pinkish color and should not show signs of low-grade recycled impurities that can increase cable heating.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n In conclusion,El-Hegaz 70 + 35 mm\u00b2 armored copper cable<\/strong><\/b>sets a high standard in armored power cables by combining electrical performance with strong mechanical protection. Selecting this cable establishes a foundation for a safe, stable, and sustainable installation designed for decades of service.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" TheEl-Hegaz armored 3-core copper cable, size (70 + 35) mm\u00b2<\/strong><\/p>\n is a highly reliable engineering solution for carrying large electrical loads in demanding construction and industrial environments. The cable uses a robust structure with main conductors of70 mm\u00b2<\/strong>each, together with a third conductor of35 mm\u00b2<\/strong>assigned to neutral or earth, making it suitable for transformer-to-subpanel connections and machinery requiring stable current up to200 A<\/strong>depending on installation conditions. A key feature of this El-Hegaz version is its galvanized-steel-wire armor, which provides mechanical protection for the copper core against impact, severe ground pressure, and rodent damage, allowing direct burial where permitted without expensive protective conduit.<\/p>\n At its core, the cable uses electrolytic red copper with a purity of99.9%<\/strong>, providing low electrical resistance and reducing voltage drop over long distances. Combined with high-density inner PVC insulation and a durable black outer sheath resistant to salts and moisture, this makes the cable suitable for demanding climates and environments, especially coastal areas and chemical plants. With manufacturing focused on recognized quality requirements and flame-retardant construction, El-Hegaz armored cable is designed to support safe, continuous power flow over a long service life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":117592,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[15282],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-118611","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-armed-cables","first","instock","sale","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gahzly.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/118611","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gahzly.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gahzly.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gahzly.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=118611"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gahzly.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/117592"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gahzly.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=118611"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gahzly.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=118611"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gahzly.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=118611"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gahzly.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=118611"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
