ABC Cable BS 7870-5 standard
BS 7870-5 standard aerial bundled cables (ABC) are designed for overhead distribution lines and electrical installations. They are suitable for use in alternating current (AC) power networks with a nominal voltage of U0/U 0.6/1 kV and in direct current (DC) power networks with a maximum voltage of 0.9 kV.
Construction
- Rated Voltage
- 0.6/1KV
- Phase Conductor
- stranded compacted stranded Aluminium
- Neutral Conductor
- compacted stranded Aluminium
- Insulation
- XLPE/PE
Application
The aerial bundled cables designed for overhead distribution lines have all conductors made of aluminium 1350 and insulated with XLPE. Phase and neutral cores are laid up in a bundle with a left hand lay. Can be used for fixed installation as overhead power lines up to 1000 V incl.
