ABC Cable NFC Standard
The ABC cable NFC standard refers to a specific type of overhead power distribution cable that is commonly used in many countries, particularly in Europe and Africa.
Construction
Phase Conductor
Class 2 Circular compacted stranded Aluminium
Neutral Conductor
Class 2 Circular compacted stranded Aluminium
Insulation
XLPE (Cross-linked polyethylene) UV Resistant
Application
ABC cable (Aerial Bundled Cable) NFC standard is used for overhead power distribution in low voltage (LV) networks.
It for overhead power distribution, residential areas, rural electrification, street lighting, and industrial and commercial applications.
Feature
The advantages of ABC cables include their reliability, safety, and cost-effectiveness. They are also easy to install and require less maintenance than traditional power distribution systems.
