LV Aerial Bundled Conductor (ABC) Cables

abc-cable

Standard

Basic design to BS 7870 / TNB Specification(IEC 60502) / HD 626 S1 / NFC 33-209 / AS/NZS 3560-1 standards

Construction

Conductor

Aluminium conductor, round stranded compressed (RM).

Insulation

XPLE compound, UV-resistant.

Core Identification

1, 2 resp. 3 raised longitudinal ribs on the surface of the cores. The surface of the neutral core should have at least 12 ribs for cross-sections up to 50 mm² and a minimum of 16 ribs for cores above 50 mm². In the case of five core bundles the surface of the protective core should be smooth.

Application

overhead distribution lines
