MV Aerial Bundled Conductor (ABC) Cables
Application
Aerial bundled cables are mainly used for secondary overhead lines on poles or as feeders to residential premises.
Standard
Basic design to IEC 60502 / AS/NZS 3599-1 standards
Construction
| Phase Conductor |
Circular compacted stranded H68 aluminium to BS2627. |
| Conductor Screen |
Extruded semi-conductive layer. |
| Insulation |
XLPE. |
| Insulation Screen |
Extruded semi-conductive layer. |
| metallic Screen(optional) |
Copper wire screen or copper tape screen. |
| Separator |
Semi-conductive swellable tape. |
| Outer Sheath |
HDPE. |
| Support Conductor |
Galvanized steel wires. |
| Assembly |
Three XLPE insulated screened cores are bundled around the galvanized steel wires in a right hand lay. |
